ABSTRACT
Free consent is one of the most important and highly sensitive elements in contract law. Worldwide, the law of contract emphasizes that consent in any agreement must be free and given voluntarily by both parties. The absence of any of the essential elements of free consent substantially diminishes the validity of a contract. Although the requirement that a contract must be made with free consent is mandatory in all jurisdictions, differences exist regarding the interpretation and application of this term in contract law. This article is based on a comparative analysis of three jurisdictions-Bangladesh, Japan, and the United States-and examines how each applies the concept of free consent in its respective legal system and why it holds significant importance in all three.
