๐Ÿ“š Legal Explanation:
✅ Essential ingredients like offer, acceptance, consideration, lawful object, capacity, and free consent must exist even for verbal contracts. ๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ–‹️
✅ However, without written evidence, proving the existence and terms of the contract in court becomes a mammoth task! ๐Ÿ›️๐Ÿ˜
✅ Some types of contracts — like property sale deeds — must be in writing under law (they can’t be verbal at all). ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ“
