well, I don't mean legal, I mean "castiza." I heard this on a soap opera and I know sometimes they make things up!

"amarres" can mean several things. It depends on what you mean by it.
It is "legal" (I assume you mean an "official" Spanish word), inasmuch as it appears in the DRAE:
amarre. 1. m. Acción y efecto de amarrar o amarrarse. 2. m. Cuba y Perú. Encantamiento para asegurar que alguien quede enamorado y sujeto a la voluntad y arbitrio de otra persona. 3. m. Ec. Treta, componenda.

Now, whether that's the meaning you have in mind or not, that's something else.
