What type of contracts are void?

Contracts that limit the freedom of marriage are considered void because they contravene public policy and the fundamental rights associated with personal liberties. Marriage is regarded as a basic human right, and any agreement that attempts to restrict an individual’s ability to marry infringes upon this freedom. This aligns with various legal principles that prioritize individual rights over contractual agreements when they conflict with essential freedoms recognized by society.

In contrast, other types of contracts mentioned, such as those limiting asset transfers, leases, and employment opportunities, may have legal grounds under certain conditions, provided they do not violate state or federal laws. Contracts can encompass various restrictions as long as they are legally permissible and do not infringe on public policy or individual rights in the same manner that contracts limiting marriage do.
