As the law stands it is the duty of the illiterate party to learn the meaning of the contract’s terms, and they are held responsible upon failing to do so. This standard fails to take into account the extreme social pressure put on the illiterate party in such situations. The majority of cases I’ve found on the subject involve banks and contracts for loans, so it could be reasonably assumed that the illiterate party had a legitimate fear that, if discovered illiterate, they would not be able to get the loan, or would incur less favorable terms of interest and payment. If illiterate persons were given protections in contract law similar to those extended to minors, and illiteracy were to become an economic burden on influential financial institutions, then such institutions may find it in their interest to fun programs to promote literacy.

You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
