Capacity to agree

Capacity to agree refers to an individual's ability to understand and consent to an agreement or decision. This involves having the mental ability to comprehend the situation, weigh the options, and appreciate the consequences of the agreement. Factors such as age, mental health, and cognitive ability can affect this capacity. In legal contexts, for instance, if someone lacks the capacity to agree, any contracts or decisions made may not be considered valid, as the person cannot fully understand what they are agreeing to or the implications of their agreement.
