Mariah, a young woman aged 17, went shopping. She purchased a new coat on credit at a clothing store. Later the same day, she took her expensive watch to a jewellery shop to have a new watch band installed. While in the shop, she purchased on credit an additional watch for herself, and a silver bracelet as a gift for a friend. When the merchants later requested payment, Mariah refused to pay. All gifts purchased by minors are non-necessary items, and therefore Mariah is not bound by such a contract.

Morgan Austin · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : False, Explanation :  While it's true that contracts for non-necessary items entered into by minors can often be voided, the statement is overly broad and doesn't account for exceptions or specific jurisdictional laws. Additionally, the necessity of an item can be subjective and determined by the court, and not all gifts purchased by minors are automatically considered non-necessary.
