A more throughout explanation: Duress is a legal term that refers to a situation where a person is forced or coerced into doing something against their will, often through threats, violence, or other forms of pressure. In legal terms, a contract or agreement entered into under duress may be considered voidable or unenforceable.
Example: The defendant claimed that he signed the contract under duress, arguing that he was threatened with physical harm if he did not comply.
