However the contract must be totally voided, or the minor will be held liable. As an example, a child cannot enter a contract in which he receives material goods, and then void the contract and keep the goods without keeping up to his end of the contract. He must return the goods in that case, to be legally allowed to void the contract. The laws though can vary from country to country, and also the definition of a minor can differ.
