INTRODUCTION
Women in India face an exploitative dichotomy of traditional values and pseudo-capitalist philosophy, both of which are dipped in patriarchal norms. Where on one hand prostitution is considered a mortal sin and prostitutes are viewed as agents of evil, the trafficking of young girls into this profession is a growing trajectory.1 The confusion is projected clearly in the laws and the judiciary of India. Though, prostitution is not illegal it is considered unethical by courts. However, it is illegal when illegal measures are applied to force someone, especially a minor, into this profession through various means, such as kidnapping and trafficking someone.
