Section 23 of Contract Act 1872 (What considerations and objects are lawful and what not)

In this video, Section 23 is explained in very simple.

Section 23 "What considerations and objects are lawful and what not"
The consideration or object of an agreement is lawful, unless-it is forbidden by law; or is of such a nature that, permitted it would defeat the provisions of any law; or is fraudulent; or involves or implies injury to the person or property of another; or the Court regards it as immoral, or opposed to public policy. In each of these cases, the consideration or object or of an agreement is said to be unlawful, Every agreement of which the object or consideration is unlawful is void.

Illustrations

(a) A agrees to sell his house to B for 10,000 rupees. Here B's promise to pay the sum of 10,000 rupees is the consideration for A's promise to sell the house, and A's promise to sell the house is the consideration for B's promise to pay the 10,000 rupees. These are lawful considerations.
