Question

Peter and Wendy are best friends. Following a visit to Peter’s house one day and concerned that Peter will never grow up, Peter’s dad offers to give Wendy $1million to marry Peter. Wendy accepts and the two create a written agreement. After marrying Peter, Wendy asks Peter’s dad for the money. Peter’s dad refuses to give Wendy the money. Wendy sues. Who is likely to win?

Answer 1

Answer: Wendy

Explanation:

Wendy married Peter on the condition that his father would give her a million dollars for it.

They even drew up a contract/written agreement to that amount.

Wendy then fulfills her end of the bargain by marrying Peter.

Peter's father as the other party to the agreement now refuses to meet his.

He has broken the terms of the the Agreement so if she sues, she is likely to win.

Answer 2

Answer:

Wendy

Explanation:

They had a contract, and Wendy fulfilled her end of the bargain. Peters father therefore has to give her the money, because he signed a contract. Wendy has proof supporting her case, while Peters dad doesn't. This makes it very likely she would win, seeing as how Peters Father is legally bound to this contract, and is required by law to give Wendy that money.
