I received a job offer from a company and signed a simple agreement on plain paper. It says I have to join them after signing, and if I don’t, I have to pay two months’ salary. Are these terms valid? Do I need to pay if I break the agreement?

The terms in your agreement are likely unenforceable under Indian law. A simple agreement on plain paper without specific details like the job description and compensation is not legally binding. You may not be obligated to pay two months’ salary if you break this agreement. It’s best to consult with a lawyer for specific legal advice.

Previous Article My husband and I are getting divorced, and our young son is currently living with him. I’m in a difficult situation where I can’t let him visit for a while. Can I file a case after a couple of years to get custody of my son? I’m worried they’ll say I didn’t try to see him, making it hard to get custody. Could I give a reason, even if it’s not completely true, to explain this? I’m also concerned my son might be upset if my husband remarries. If my son wants to live with me when I file the case, will the court consider that, even though he’s still young?
