Solution

The correct option is A Agreement being in restraint of marriage
As per section 26 of the Contract Act, any contract in restraint of the marriage of any person, other than a minor, is void. In the present case, X has promised Y a sum of money only if he never marries in his life which is a restraint of marriage of Y and hence is void in nature.
