agreement to marry

A quick definition of agreement to marry:

An agreement to marry is when two people promise to get married. A promise is when someone says they will do something or not do something. Sometimes promises are like contracts that the law can enforce, but not all promises are legally binding. A promise can be made in writing or just by talking. If someone makes a promise but doesn't intend to keep it, that's called a false promise. If someone promises to do something only if something else happens first, that's called a conditional promise.

A more thorough explanation:

An agreement to marry is a promise made between two people to get married. It is a type of promise, which is a manifestation of an intention to act or refrain from acting in a specified manner, conveyed in such a way that another is justified in understanding that a commitment has been made. A binding promise is the essence of a contract.

For example, if John promises to marry Jane, and Jane accepts the promise, they have made an agreement to marry. This promise is legally binding, and if either party breaks the promise, they may be held liable for breach of contract.

Another example is when a man agrees to transfer property to a woman if she will marry him. In this case, the actual performance of the marriage is the consideration for the promise.

Overall, an agreement to marry is a type of promise that is legally binding and can be enforced if broken.
