It's immoral to break the marriage VOW. That's a terrible analogy.
If you wanted to actually have that apply, you would need a situation in which someone said "I promise that I will pay you" AND had a contract. In both that case and in the case of marriage, what is immoral is breaking a promise. In both cases, you're fufilling the contract.
What I keep saying is that morality is independent of the contract. The absurdity of your marriage hypothetical only proves my point; for your logic to work, it has to be totally fine to cheat on your spouse if you don't have a pre-nup.
