    B Adequacy of consideration Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Communication of offer is necessary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Promise between married parties is not a binding contract Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Court in Balfour vs. Balfour observed that agreements that are made between a husband and his wife, specifically personal family relationships, to provide maintenance costs, and other related capitals are generally not categorized as contracts because in general, the parties to the agreement do not intend to enter into an agreement that should be attending legal ends. Therefore, a contract cannot be enforceable by nature if the parties to the same do not intend to create legal relations with each other. Thus, the intention to enter into a contract is necessary for a binding and legally enforceable contract.
