Explanation using Example

Imagine Rahul and Meena make a bet on the outcome of a cricket match. Rahul believes Team A will win, while Meena is confident that Team B will emerge victorious. They agree that the loser will pay the winner ₹10,000. This agreement is a wager. According to Section 30 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, their agreement is void. Therefore, if Rahul refuses to pay Meena after Team B wins, Meena cannot legally enforce the agreement or take Rahul to court to recover the money.
