If a citizen becomes insolvent, that is, he is unable to pay a debt at the due time, the creditors may choose to pursue the collection of the debt through an order of Court. A citizen's assets, property and female children are the first matters to be considered for seizure, and their mistresses and male children are the second matters which may be seized. The final matters are the wife and the actual citizen. Children and mistresses sold into slavery, enter slavery at a debt equal to the sale price raised for them at market. The wife and citizen enter slavery with a debt of the price raised for them in addition to any residual insolvency still remaining, divided equally between the citizen and the wife. 

When any dependants or citizens are required to be sold into slavery through insolvency, it is the duty of the creditors to validate the debts being enforced to the satisfaction of the court, and when the citizen has to enter slavery, to also establish that all debts are being accounted for in the one Judgment. To falsify a debt which forces a citizen or his dependants into slavery is a crime for which the penalty is a reversal of circumstances, i.e. the citizen and his dependants are restored to freedom, and the false creditor(s) enter(s) slavery with a debt equal to the market value plus the debt they falsely tried to claim. This debt is assessed fully against the false creditor, and any remaining assets and dependants of the false creditor are transferred to the original debtor in full as punitive damages.
