Pardanashin lady means a lady who remains in parda due to tradition of family or society and generally she do not come out of her home in general public and generally is illiterate.

If any pardanashin woman executes/makes any contract then she should be accompanied with any male member of her family as her contract without this is not valid.

A contract with a woman who observes purdah or who is commonly reffered to as pardanasheen is presumed to have been influenced by undue influence. The law classifies the contracts made in the following situations as invalid contract;

(1) A party to the contract being ignorant of the terms and the conditions of the contract.
(2) There being no independent counsel tp the party.
(3) A party to the contract not understanding the legal implications of her commitment under the contract.
