KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Marriage Brokerage Contract
A marriage brokerage contract is an agreement in which one person undertakes, usually for payment, to arrange a marriage for another person.
English law traditionally regards such contracts as contrary to public policy because marriage is considered a personal relationship that should not be commercialized for profit.
As a result, marriage brokerage contracts are generally void and unenforceable. Courts refuse to assist parties seeking payment or enforcement under such agreements.
The rule reflects broader legal principles discouraging contracts that interfere improperly with personal freedom or the institution of marriage.
