Prostitution is, beyond doubt, a social evil. It has been an obnoxious feature of every society.
It has been observed in recent study of prostitution that “in a theoretically good society, where sexual fulfilment ought to be possible as are other kinds of personal satisfaction, no one would be a prostitute or a client. . .”. Despite the attempts made from time to time to check it, the evil of prostitution persists. The Act is one such attempt to check the evil.
