How can someone be arrested for a legal activity?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.204.113.33 (talk) 17:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody has ever been arrested for prostitution. Those you are referring were arrested under the All India Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act; where the crime is Solicitation, which is different from prostitution per se. The article clearly mentions that solicitation is unlawful. Snowcream (talk) 17:58, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Why editors mentioning prostitution is legal in india ? 43.247.159.3 (talk) 19:16, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Because prostitution itself is legal - as clearly referenced to "The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956" - although as also explained many other activities such as soliciting, kerb crawling, owning or managing a brothel, prostitution in a hotel, child prostitution, pimping and pandering are illegal. - Arjayay (talk) 19:25, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
