## Definition

The transfer of a person to the creditor as security for a loan. - In addition, if the debt was not paid on the due date (deadline), the debtor or a person close to him - siblings, wife, children - could be handed over to the creditor as a debt-bound slave. This is regulated in detail early on, for example in the Codex Hammurapi: a collection of laws published under King Hammurapis of Babylon around 1750 BC. The provision of a body pawn has not yet completely died out in some parts of the world. - See first, sad, ransom, child pawn, body pawn, lot purchase money.
