Where Whore Whores Legally

Prostitution is legally banned in India but in India's only Muslim majority state of Jammu and Kashmir, it was lawful all this time. After the uproar of the JK population against the sex racket that was detected recently, the JK govt is considering repealing the law that made prostitution legal in JK from 1921!

Jammu and Kashmir is the only state in the country where prostitution is legal.
According to the Public Prostitutes Registration Rules, 1921, a prostitute can
carry on her trade legally if she registers herself with the District
Magistrate. She has to fill in a simple application form, file it in person and
pay Rs 5 as fee.

Law Minister Muzzaffer Hussain Beigh, who is also
the Deputy Chief Minister of J-K, admitted the rules were still in force and
could be invoked. ‘‘Yes, the rules are in the book and are as such valid,’’
Beigh said. He, however, said the Government would repeal them in the next
Assembly session.

Sanctioned by the Darbar of the then Maharja
Hari Singh vide Chief Minister letter No 17197, dated February 12, 1921, these
rules were first published in Government Gazette of the same year.
The rules
define a public prostitute as ‘‘a woman who earns her livelihood by offering her
person to lewdness for hire.’’ The rules also allow for the role of a brothel
keeper and defines him or her as ‘‘the occupier of any house, room, tent, boat,
or place resorted to by person of both sexes for the purpose of committing
sexual immorality.’’ However, the brothel keeper has to ensure that he does not
keep the prostitutes who are not registered with the Government.[Indian Express]
