primitive obligation

Read a random definition: CBOE

A quick definition of primitive obligation:

A primitive obligation is a legal or moral duty to do something or not do something. It can be imposed by law, contract, promise, social relations, courtesy, kindness, or morality. An obligation can be a formal, binding agreement or acknowledgment of a liability to pay a certain amount or to do a certain thing for a particular person or set of persons. It can also be a legal relationship in which one person is bound to render a performance in favor of another. An obligation can be absolute, alternative, accessory, or conditional. It can also be perfect or imperfect, personal or real, and joint or several.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal or moral duty to do or not do something. It can refer to anything that a person is bound to do or not do, whether the duty is imposed by law, contract, promise, social relations, courtesy, kindness, or morality.

Example: A person has a primitive obligation to pay their rent on time if they have signed a lease agreement with their landlord. This obligation is legally binding and failure to fulfill it can result in consequences such as eviction or legal action.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a primitive obligation can arise from a contractual agreement. The person has a legal duty to pay their rent on time as per the terms of the lease agreement. This obligation is considered primitive because it is the first obligation that needs to be fulfilled before any other obligations can be considered. Failure to fulfill this obligation can result in legal consequences.
