Debt slavery refers to a condition where a person is bound to repay a debt with interest, but the debt is beyond their capability to repay, resulting in an extended period of servitude to the lender. Some of the synonyms for debt slavery include bonded labor, financial servitude, and debt bondage. Bonded labor describes a situation where an individual is obligated to work for a creditor until they've paid off their debt. Financial servitude refers to an individual's inability to meet financial obligations and their permanent subjection to a creditor. Debt bondage, on the other hand, refers to a condition where an individual is lawfully forced to work as a means of repaying a debt.
