§ 709 Void Unlawful Conditions

• •If a contract asks you to do something bad or illegal, that part of the contract doesn't count.
• •If the contract asks you to do something that's not bad but still against the law, the contract works but that rule is ignored.
• •You can't make a rule in a contract that stops someone from getting married (unless they're a kid).
• •If the contract is just about giving something to someone until they get married, that's okay.

If you sign a contract that says you'll get paid only if you steal a car, that part about stealing is ignored because stealing is bad.

The contract can still work, but the rule about stealing doesn't count because it's wrong.
