11 Agreement to give up minor not to be invalid
No agreement contained in any separation deed made between the father and mother of a minor shall be held to be invalid by reason only of its providing that the father of the minor shall give up the custody or control thereof to the mother:
Provided always that no Court shall enforce any such agreement if it is of opinion that it will not be for the benefit of the minor to give effect thereto.
