Description

Usury is the practice of making unethical or immoral loans that unfairly enrich the lender. The term may be used in a moral sense—condemning taking advantage of others' misfortunes—or in a legal sense, where an interest rate is charged in excess of the maximum rate that is allowed by law. A loan may be considered usurious because of excessive or abusive interest rates or other factors defined by the laws of a state. Someone who practices usury can be called a usurer, but in modern colloquial English may be called a loan shark.

सूदखोरी वो व्यवस्था होती है जिसमें कर्ज़ अत्यधिक ब्याज पर या कोई अनैतिक तरीके से दिया जाता है। इस व्यवस्था में कर्ज़ लेने वाले का लाभ नहीं बल्कि कर्ज देने वाला का लाभ प्रधान होता है। ऐतिहासिक तौर पर और आज भी कई समाज में कर्ज पर ब्याज लेना ही सूदखोरी माना जाता था। ईसाई धर्म में ब्याज लेना गलत आचरण माना जाता था। इस कारण ईसाई समाजों में यहूदी ही कर्ज मुहैया कराते थे। प्राचीन हिन्दू ग्रंथों में भी सूदखोरी को गलत माना गया है।
