Poor Anita Hug! She just had a very hard month. First, on October 1, 2005, Ruth Less orally agreed to sell Anita some land for $10,000 and accepted a deposit of $1,000 to bind the agreement. Later, upon learning that her cousin Clu would pay a higher price, Ruth refused to honor the contract with Anita. Next, on October 2, 2005, Anita orally agreed to work for "Shaky" Al LeBye as a hostess in his Chinese restaurant, Tsu Mi, from October 5, 2005 until October 1, 2006, but has found that she hates the job and is really anxious to quit -- but "Shaky" Al has threatened to sue her for breach of contract if she does. Finally, on October 3, 2005, Anita's boyfriend Lou Pole orally promised her that if she agreed to marry him, he would give her a large monthly allowance, a new car every two years, and a vacation each year to a destination of her choice. Anita was overjoyed to accept, and the pair were married on November 1. Lou, however, has failed to keep his promise of a large monthly allowance, and when Anita brings up his other promises, Lou merely laughs. (see why I started with "poor Anita?")
Anita has come to your law firm for assistance; she wants to sue for enforcement of her contract with Ruth Less, to get out of working for "Shaky" Al LeBye, and to force Lou to live up to the promises he made that induced Anita to marry him. Whatever will become of poor Anita? Explain
