Slavery

=Self-Enslavement= People that get too poor are sometimes willing to be a slave, even for free. Being a slave they don't have the right to their life anymore but they can escape the fate of dying from starvation tomorrow or the day after. If they're lucky they can get bought by a good master and live a peaceful life.

=Provisional Contract= It's a contract temporarily created to prevent claims like ‘They died soon after buying them!', or ‘I was cheated!'. Sometimes there are slave traders that misrepresent the slaves' health or life span. Ordinarily, the curse mark will be affixed on the same day as the contract agreement.
