In a pact reminiscent of the eroticism featured in the best-seller Fifty Shades of Grey and the notorious novel The Story of O, the saleswoman from Padua signed the explicitly-worded agreement with her then boyfriend in 2004, when she was 24.
They married in 2006 but the relationship eventually fell apart and the couple separated last year.
The woman, now aged 31, has shown the two-page contract to her lawyers to support her demands for a divorce and accusations of physical abuse. She also accuses her former partner of stalking her since their split.
The contract stipulated that she be considered a "slave" to her husband, a property manager who was 10 years older than her.
He was referred to throughout the contract as her "padrone" or master.
The husband, now aged 41, argues that she signed the pact entirely of her own volition and that their activities were always consensual.
A lot of questions come to mind, like why did it take her 7 years to come to her senses or why did she agree to this in the first place. I'm sure some of this will come to light during the trial.
