Types of consideration

Considerations are distinguished into ‘‘good’’ and ‘‘valuable.’’ A good consideration is such as is founded on natural duty and affection or on a strong moral obligation. A valuable consideration is founded on money or something convertible into money or having a value in money, except marriage, which is a valuable consideration. (Orig.
