PIKEVILLE, Ky., 3:06 p.m. EST February 20, 2002 - A man and a woman in the Eastern Kentucky county have entered into a notararized slave agreement.
Three days before Valentine's Day, Ike England and Amanda Pinion filed the contract with the county clerk.
The contract offers rights to both parties, but most to the master.
The contract stated that the slave can marry, but can't consummate the union.
The slave can bear the master's baby, but can't ask for child support.
The contract also stated that the "slave agrees to party with the master whenever the master so desires."
Not everyone in Pike County sees the humor in the non-binding agreement.
"I wonder how much they'd have to pay for a woman to be a slave?" Lenore Jackson said.
Lawyer Jim Keffer dismissed the document.
"To each his own -- or her own I guess," Keffer said.
Under the rules of punishment, paragraph F prohibits withholding necessary materials like food, water, sunlight and tanning bed sessions.
England is also allowed to accept other slaves under the contract without considering Pinion's feelings.
The contract lasts for 25 years, and is renewable at the master's discretion.
The deputy county clerk said that she had no choice but to accept the contract.
The contract does not have legal standing, despite the notary seal.
