Given such circumstances there is nothing preventing the girls from annulling the marriage or divorcing the husband after the financial transaction is completed.
Due to emancipation laws, any form of prenuptial agreement would be binding to the spouse and not her parents. Once married a child is no longer the legal responsibility of the parents and any prior arrangement concerning the future actions of the daughter would not be legally binding on the parents...

I could hardly believe this statement. So I asked our expensive joo lawyers. Their reply is as follows:
If by “Slavery” you mean, “The enforce captivity of one person by another such that the captive works solely for the benefit of his captor.” Then it is illegal.
If, however, you mean, “A binding contract of indefinite term, which is entered into by two persons of capacity such that one works for the other in return for goods and services in kind.” Then this is legal. It also means that if I have a “Slave” (or two) I can sell his contract to anyone else, which is just as well or there’d be a few here who would not be obeying secular law.
As far as daughters being property; they clearly are. The Bible consistently tells us how they should be dealt with and disposed of them and of their minimal rights.
As far as the contract being with the parents is concerned, this has no bearing on the matter – although any bride price might be part of the initial contract, once married, that contract is at an end and the new contract is between husband, wife and God and cannot be broken. The price of breaking contracts with God is high.
