Answer this---Prostitution
Recently a Tamil cine actress was arrested for running a brothel. It became a huge controvery after a Tamil daily reported her alleged statement exposing other famous actresses as part of the trade. The editor was arrested after the police were put under huge pressure from the cine world which came together in protest. But this issue raises a larger question. Should prostitution be made legal? Afterall it is also an occupation. My personal opinion is that a person has the liberty to choose how to use his\her own body. I am only against forced prostitution and brothels. This act in private should not be a criminal act. Give your opinion on this matter!

5 opinions on my opinion:
I agree! Prostitution ought to be legalised. Perhaps that will improve conditions for sex workers.
Yeah..Let's legalise Bribery and Robery as well..It will result in decreased crime rates as per IPC;)
@Sumit
You are spot on. The biggest problem that sex workers face is extortion by police either in the form of sexual favors or money. Legalising prostitution may help bring down police atrocities against sex workers.
@mama
As far as I can see, your stance stems from the fact that prostitution is immoral. But morality is a social construct and it changes with time.
Britain legalised prostitution though Christian morality apposes sex trade.
Most people who enter prostitution aren't in it by choice. Their poverty or pattern of life or past choices have led them to that way of life. The happy high class call girl is not the norm. So for the millions that need to be saved, prostitution should never be made legal.
