Social-Legal Aspects of Prostitution and the Current Scenario of India
Keywords:
Individuals, profession, prostitution, sexual relationship, sex trafficking, womenAbstract
Since the conception of marriage, prostitution has been a part of Indian society and is as old as civilization itself. Prostitution is now often associated with violence, prejudice, and exploitation. In Indian society, prostitution is frequently regarded as taboo, so the necessary attention has not been given to its regulation. This research explores the impact of legalizing and regulating prostitution on the abuse of sex workers. No matter if it is legal or illegal, prostitution will always exist. So, it is preferable to confront the issue at hand and perhaps come up with solutions to the issues that women and children involved in prostitution suffer. Prostitution flourished on a massive commercial scale in the absence of state regulation and supervision as the situation continued to deteriorate. Women’s social limitations and economic disadvantages made them easy targets for gangsters in this field.
