No, being harassed by your employer or his spouse is NOT legal grounds to get out of an employment contract. You can only get out of the contract if:
1) they violate it in some material, or important, way, like not paying you when or as much as they are supposed to; or
2) they lied or misrepresented something important about the job to you *before* you signed the contract (committed fraud).
Harassment has nothing to do with a contract's validity or enforceability.
