A contract entered into by a minor in Mississippi is generally considered:

Correct Answer

B) Voidable at the minor's option upon reaching the age of majority

In Mississippi, a contract entered into by a minor (under age 21 for real estate purposes under Mississippi law) is voidable, not void. This means the minor has the right to disaffirm or cancel the contract upon reaching the age of majority, but the contract is not automatically invalid. The adult party, however, is bound by the contract and cannot use the minor's age as a defense to avoid their own obligations.
