Usury refers to the practice of charging excessively high interest rates on loans, often considered exploitative and unethical. Historically, usury has been condemned in various religious and legal traditions, including Christianity and Islam, which view it as morally wrong. Many countries have enacted laws to limit interest rates and protect borrowers from predatory lending practices. In modern contexts, the term can also refer to any lending practice that is deemed unfair or excessively burdensome to the borrower.
