Sex work is considered the oldest occupation in India and even in the 21st century, it still remains taboo. In this country, a confused sense of morality runs high. The women involved in this profession are subjected to social discrimination and ostracism. The major reason behind this situation is that the law remains ambiguous about sex work and other activities related to it. This is why there is a huge misconception that prostitution is illegal in India. The prostitution service is considered immoral but it is actually legal. Only a few related activities like soliciting in a public place, kerb-crawling, owning or managing a brothel, prostitution in a hotel, child prostitution, pimping, and pandering, are considered illegal.
