Slavery is indeed alive and well in many parts of the world. Even in our developed countries there are slaves that no one hears about. About a decade ago the case of Mende Nazer shocked Britain: a Sudanese girl who had been kidnapped from her village and sold to a wealthy Khartoum family. When they went to the UK, she did too—as their hidden slave who never left the house. She slept on the floor in the kitchen and was adressed as “dog.”
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

Slavery in all its forms is vile. There is no excuse for it.Cultures that allow it are fundamentally flawed. That includes economic slavery.
