Sexually Transmitted Debt

Sexually Transmitted Debt is the first major study of an increasingly evident social and legal problem: the provision of third party loan security by a spouse/partner for the business debts of the other spouse/partner. This book is unique in its multi-faceted approach to the issue comprising detailed legal analysis and consideration of relevant sociological literature, backed up by empirical research. The result is a very readable text in which the gap between the law and practical experience clearly emerges.
