Lesion Beyond Moiety is a civil law term used to describe the ability of a seller of immovable property to rescind that sale if the price paid for the property is less than (usually half) of the actual value of the property at the time of the sale.

Louisiana Civil Code Article 2589 is entitled "Rescission for lesion beyond moeity" and states that the seller may rescind the sale of an immovable when the price is less than one half of the fair market value. Under this law, a seller may invoke this right even if he has renounced it.
