Recently a bench of Supreme court including Justices Dalveer Bhandari, A K Patnaik & Solicitor General Gopal Subramaniam said,"When you say it is the world's oldest profession and when you are not able to curb it by laws, why don't you legalise it? You can then monitor the trade, rehabilitate and provide of medical aid to those involved in the trade."

The apex court said legalising sex trade would be a better option to avoid trafficking of women and said nowhere in the world has the trade been curbed by punitive measures. "They (sex trade) have been operating in one way or the other and nowhere in the world have they been able to curb it by legislation. In some cases, they are carried out in a sophisticated manner. So why don't you legalise it?" said the apex court.

What do you guys think how the legalisation of prostitutin will affect our society?

What does legalise really means? Is it about allowing sex trade openly or is it about giving respect to the sex workers?

Yeah, why not.

Legalisation is different from giving respect to the sex workers. It merely prevents their abuse by mafia and police.

What does the term “legalise” actually imply?
It would imply that consensual trade in sexual services between adult citizens is permitted.

Is it same as respect?
No, the govt. can't force anyone to respect anyone else. One can still hold that it is an immoral and disrespectful practice. It would just mean the sex workers can carry out their activities without being harassed by police/mafia. And of course, the law should include restrictions on when and where the activities can be carried out so that neighbourhood brothels don't mushroom everywhere making it "difficult" for other people.

This blog post does a very good job of looking at legal/social respectability issue.

Isn't it legalized in India.. Most of Indian metros have red light areas.. I am sure its legal thats why they are operating.. We all know that it can't be banned so that Govt has to do some amendments in the constitution so that pimps, middleman, brothel owners should be keep out of this trade. I know it may not be pracitcally possible.

It is illegal in India right now. But omnipresent nevertheless. Policiyon aur netaaon ki regular income ka ek aur source.

That means Legalisation will only prevant sex worker from harassment by police/mafia. It wont increase their statu/respect in society. Let us say if india legelise prostitution wouldn't it increase Child prostitution, foreign girls traffiction and more violation against women. Can it be helpful in reducing women/child molestaion?

Nahi bhai

legalise this, no fear of police/ society
Decentralise this no need to go budhha garden, you will find these centres at around ur home.
Instead of allowance companies can give prostitution centre coupons to their employee.

Question on status/respect is not for the state to answer. It is determined by societal norms.

It should actually help in decreasing child prostitution and trafficking. Because the law would take care of those aspects by making it legal for "consensual adults" only. Right now, since the whole thing is illegal, it pushes everything to "jungle ka kanoon".

Molestation/harassment is a different issue, more a reflection of the society we live in and the respect we have for women.
 
What a great idea! Gays' aur lesbians' matters to aasaan kar hi diye aur ab ye naya great idea leke aaye hain. For sure Indian are having a new vision to make India a developed nation. Doesn't matter they copy other countries in other developments or not, doesn't matter they discuss n retain good culture here or not, but for sure they will give the relief to many to breathe openly. Bechare ghut-ghut ke jee rahe logon ko khuli hawa milegi.

Kuchh din baad to ye bhi legal kar denge ki jo bhi govt. officers jaise ki pakde gaye the (I think in Mumbai) with prostitutes wo ghar bhi laa sakenge ek do ko. Unki wives to kuchh kar hi nahin paayengi court mein khadi hoke bhi.

I think beggars should also be given due respect which they are not getting in actual and they should all be permitted to beg. No complaints to administrators of that region, or taking police-wala's help to get them removed from footpaths or disturbing the traffic at red light.

Also, I think eve-teasing should be made legal. Please think over it. As many people desire for that, enjoy it very much. Why govt. is not thinking for those people? Why only for prostitutes? Anyways, feels like they are more lucky. Don't worry, if anybody reading this....then I make u assure that govt. will make something legal for eve-teasers too. Huh!!....pathetic

Live n let other's live is applicable in every sense. No matter, let the values n culture go off.

But one great benefit that I can calculate from this is that no. of rape cases will get reduced. Superb idea!!

Its not a solution. Its a painful process to abolish this practice slowly and panifully. Its a known fact that complete ban in prostiution is only possible in autocratic countries like Saudi Arabia. If there will demand, there will be supply in any society. All we are talking about is to make it tough for a buyer and also make sure that seller don't suffer.

Kuchh din baad to ye bhi legal kar denge ki jo bhi govt. officers jaise ki pakde gaye the (I think in Mumbai) with prostitutes wo ghar bhi laa sakenge ek do ko. Unki wives to kuchh kar hi nahin paayengi court mein khadi hoke bhi.

Bigamy is illegal as per our constiution. Its lack of awarness that any woman is allowing her husband to do that. Anybody can drag them to court and settle it once for all.

I think beggars should also be given due respect which they are not getting in actual and they should all be permitted to beg. No complaints to administrators of that region, or taking police-wala's help to get them removed from footpaths or disturbing the traffic at red light.

Beggars, prostitues belong to same section of society: Poor and under-privledged.. It's the responsiblity of govt system to rehabilate both of them. However, If some man/woman wants earn his/her livings from Prostiution then they should be allowed but making sure that they are not getting exploited.

Also, I think eve-teasing should be made legal. Please think over it. As many people desire for that, enjoy it very much. Why govt. is not thinking for those people? Why only for prostitutes?

Stats proved that crime against women is more in those countires where prostitution is strictly banned. Its a bitter truth and can't be tackle alone with law. We need broaden approach like sex education, health care services, bringing in family values, cutting down on resources of porn material,

Live n let other's live is applicable in every sense. No matter, let the values n culture go off.

Culture is dynamic entitiy and its bound to change so that it can survive. I think its changed thats why you or I are allowed to discuss these kind of senstive issues.

But one great benefit that I can calculate from this is that no. of rape cases will get reduced. Superb idea!!

Bhai legalise karne aur encourage karne main bahut difference hota hai. Aur police ka darr? Yeh to police ki naak ke neeche kaam karte hain khulle aam. Police aur neta paisa peette hain jama. Ghar ke paas fir bhi possible nahin hoga. Any law would need to have "zoning restrictions", which would restrict the location to existing red light areas.

Bhai yeh sanskriti kahaan jaati hai jab abhi sab khulle aam hota hai? Sanskriti sirf legal karne se bigad jaagi? Agar yeh sanskriti pe dhabba hai to khatam karro jad se. Kai hazaar saal to ho liye isse isi sanskriti mein rehte hue (earliest civilizations' documents mention prostitution).
 
Before we get carried away and pour in our limited horizon here let us discuss the matter in more pragmatic manner and do not get cheap thrills out of a woo con topic and for god's sake do not dump your immaturity here.

What is prostitution: Prostitution is nothing but a sexual meeting grounds of opposite sex where in a female finds it ok to sell her body for a few bucks and men satisfy their lust by paying that money ( Men can be be a bachalor or married)

How Old is the profession: It is as old as the earth

Why it became popular and existed inspite of Social outbursts: Because of the thrills attached,no responsibilities for the act and it sold/sells like a commodity.Pay and carry ( May be AIDS)

Conditions of prostitutes: Less said is better about.No dignity,no respect,harassments and mental agony,terrible desease and no future for self and children if any.Very agonizing old age ofcourse.

Condition of Men Visiting these free lance: No self esteem,Cheating,Habitual loaters and time wasters,Disloyals.Some of them fortunate to find a temporary parteners,Harbingers of great diseases.


Legalize or Naturalize: I feel naturalize by spreading the word through consience planning and execution at all levels basically from Govt side to educate masses about the ill effects of these activities and let the people decide natually as to what is good for them and their families.


After all there are so many other important things in life than the activity of prostitution.Legalization will not help in any way.Rather it will grip the society in many more ways as Neelam brought about.

bhai mor,

PFA my queries in NON BOLD

Its not a solution. Its a painful process to abolish this practice slowly and panifully. Its a known fact that complete ban in prostiution is only possible in autocratic countries like Saudi Arabia. If there will demand, there will be supply in any society. All we are talking about is to make it tough for a buyer and also make sure that seller don't suffer.

How this practice will b abolished by this way?? Bhai tu te isis baat kare se janu ek kisaan apni fasal bechta ho mandi me ek bhai aacha bhav mil ja.

Its lack of awarness that any woman is allowing her husband to do that. Anybody can drag them to court and settle it once for all.

Bhai wa kunsi wife se jo ya allow kare se bigamy ne. Raji hoki te koye na kar sake eb kisey k baski e na ho ya balkan kani dekhti ho wa k kare

Beggars, prostitues belong to same section of society: Poor and under-privledged.. It's the responsiblity of govt system to rehabilate both of them. However, If some man/woman wants earn his/her livings from Prostiution then they should be allowed but making sure that they are not getting exploited.

Bhai yo te assan solution se fer govt Tax bbhi daal degi ispey revenue ka bhi fayda par ek baat samaj me naa aayi ispe Income Tax lagega ek Sales Tax.

Stats proved that crime against women is more in those countires where prostitution is strictly banned. Its a bitter truth and can't be tackle alone with law. We need broaden approach like sex education, health care services, bringing in family values, cutting down on resources of porn material,

Bhai As per stats anpadh logga me apni wife se maarpeet bhi kare se to fer maarpeet bhi legal kardyo againts womens

Culture is dynamic entitiy and its bound to change so that it can survive. I think its changed thats why you or I are allowed to discuss these kind of senstive issues.

Rey Change karan ne bhateri kuritiyan se samaj me tanne ya chij payi wa bhi isey tarrikey te.
