specific time. However, its level of prevalence in society and peoples attitude towards it varied according to
socio-cultural, economic and political conditions.
Some scholars think that prostitution is a necessary social evil because it protects innocent girls and
women against rape and the men can have another outlet for sexual relief(Rattanwanaship,1991).others
think that prostitution is not only a question related to morality but is also associated with other serious
issues of alcohol, drug and crime. Secondly, in contemporary times, it may pose a serious threat to public
health because of HIV/AIDS spread. Thirdly, it undermines the institution of marriage and family. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Md. Arshad, (2012).
