Minor's Fraudulent Misrepresentation of Age Bars Restitution of Property Sale

A dispute arose regarding the validity of a sale made by a minor without the required authorization from a family council, where the minor, upon reaching majority, sought restitution of the property sold, arguing the sale was voidable due to the lack of authorization. The court upheld the lower court's decision rejecting the claim for restitution, reasoning that the minor, having actively concealed their age during the transaction to induce the purchaser's consent, was estopped from later using their minority as a defense to invalidate the sale, as this would constitute an abuse of the law to the detriment of the good-faith third-party purchaser.
