Re: Legality and Morality...

Henry writes:

If society believes in freedom of contract that contract can be enforced

So if someone enters into a contract to love, honour and obey another person for the rest of her life, and later decides that she doesn't want to obey any more, a society that believes in freedom of contract will force her to obey nevertheless?

And 'freedom of contract' also implies that third parties who believe that entering into such a contract is immoral, are nevertheless obliged to enforce it? (Or to stand by while the 'aggrieved' party uses force.)
