Contract is one of the key terms in contract law and obligations. So far, no
comprehensive definition has been provided for this term. The French Civil
Code, which is the oldest civil law in existence, has revised the definition of
this concept and has made significant changes to the scope and concept of
contracts in recent reforms. In this paper, the new definition of a contract in
French law is analyzed and compared with the definition in Afghan law,
examining the differences and similarities. The findings indicate that the
changes in the new French law are in line with the time and demands of the
era. In terms of comparison between the two definitions in Afghan and
French law, the definition in French law has advantages over the definition
in the Afghan Civil Code from certain perspectives, while at the same time,
the definition in the Afghan Civil Code has its own merits.
