Prostitution is Legal in India.
Most people in India don't know that (contrary to popular belief) prostitution is legal in India.
Yes, you read that right.
In fact India happens to be one of the few countries where it is legal.
Now, here is the 'but' that you were waiting for.
There is a clause to this law. Prostitution is legal but pimping is not. So, exchange of sexual services for money is not a crime in India, But pimping or owning/running a brothel are crimes. Serious crimes in fact.
This is why India has prostitution but is not regulated.
