ORIGINAL: AquaticSub Slave contracts specifically no. However, you can do other contracts (I believe indentured servitude is still legal in certain areas) and one can agree to do X, Y, or Z for set period of time, hand over money, etc. It wouldn't a slave contract the way the others listed are but my basic understanding is that you can enter into other types of contracts that would have a similar effect though under a different name. I could be wrong. Either way, if he wants something legally binding, it would be best to consult a lawyer so that both parties know how binding or not the piece of paper is. Two lawyers. If he has his lawyer draw up a contract for her to sign that is clearly in his favor, then the courts will throw it out. She needs a lawyer of her own to protect her. The precedent here is pre-nups. If a wealthy man remarries and has his lawyer draw up the pre-nup, the courts declare it null and void because the contract is one sided. If the second lawyer works for the same firm as the first, same thing. If he pays both lawyers, same thing. She needs a lawyer of her own, not recommended by him or his lawyer, someone clearly independent from any influence by the prospective owner. And good luck finding one who will agree that anything in such a contract is in the best interests of his client.
