Practice question
Two adults make a wholly executory oral agreement under which one promises a substantial property benefit in consideration of the other’s marriage to a specified person. It is not their mutual promise to marry. No signed memorandum, ratification, special validity defect, or exception exists. With a timely Statute of Frauds objection, which rule applies?
- Article1403(2)(c) covers this marriage-consideration agreement
- Every promise connected to marriage is excluded from the statute
- The exclusion for mutual promises to marry necessarily covers this distinct benefit promise
- A signed memorandum is irrelevant in every such case
- The agreement is automatically a criminal conviction
