Under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, which of the following can be specifically enforced?

A. Contingent contract

B. Contract to form partnerships

C. Contract to get objects of historic value

D. Marriage contract

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act, the following types of contracts can be specifically enforced:

Contract to get objects of historic value: Contracts involving objects of special value or historic significance can be specifically enforced because their unique nature makes monetary compensation inadequate.

Option A: Contingent contracts depend on the occurrence of a future event, making them generally unsuitable for specific enforcement.

Option B: Contracts to form partnerships are often based on personal relationships and mutual trust, which makes specific enforcement impractical.

Option D: Marriage contracts are typically not specifically enforced due to the personal nature of marriage and individual rights.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C: Contract to get objects of historic value.

    please revisit your answer. Or provide an explanation. Because nowhere in section 10 is "historical value" mentioned
