Why Marriage is a contract?
A marriage is considered a contract, so it must meet some of the requirements of a contract. For example, you must be over the age of 18 and must have the mental capacity to enter into a contract. You cannot still be married to another living person. You can marry at the age of 14-15 if a court grants you permission.
How is a covenant different from a contract?
A contract is an agreement between parties while a covenant is a pledge. A covenant is an agreement you can break while a covenant is a perpetual promise. You seal a covenant while you sign a contract. A contract is a mutually beneficial relationship while a covenant is something you fulfill.
How do covenants work?
A covenant is a type of agreement analogous to a contractual condition. Covenants for title are covenants which come with a deed or title to the property, in which the grantor of the title makes certain guarantees to the grantee. Non-compete clauses in the United States are also called restrictive covenants.
