Prostitution is legalized on the ground that the women who
become prostitutes are exercising their individual freedom and there is nothing we can do about it. We cannot tell people what to do and what not to do. Some people consider prostitution as a profession. But is that the actual case? Most of the people might not support prostitution because their beliefs do not permit it. There are the people who are too blinded by faith to see things from objective point of view. Very few people could resist their temptation to visit a brothel if they are given easy access to. But they will demand the closure of brothels but have little regard for the people living miserable lives in each brothel. There are pious because they do not have way to commit this sin. This does not undervalue the fact that some people are out there who will not visit brothel for ethical and religious prohibition if though they are given easy access to. From religious point of view, prostitution is forbidden as far I know. Lets think prostitution from different perspective, which is not brining any religious explanation for the topic. I do not see any logic behind the existence of brothel under government protection. I think the government has arguments in favor of its decision. The most compelling argument that can be made against prostitution is that the choices most of women make to become prostitute are not independent. They are indirectly forced to choose prostitution as their profession. No one, if given other options, will choose prostitution.
