How it reads to me is that if there was fraud involved in the contract (like the horrible cases of girls overseas who are told they are going to industrial jobs and then packed off to brothels), that would be invalid.

I am curious as to why you think it's better that someone who reneges on a contract be imprisoned if they refuse to make good, than for the person the contract was made with to enforce it, as agreed. Imprisonment is a cost to everyone and of benefit to no one, unless the one being imprisoned has harmed someone and is likely to harm others.

Re above: Should have been: harmed, or tried to harm.

But now I have made myself think of loan sharks. Hmm.
