Prostitution, which is legal in Jammu and Kashmir (but not in any other Indian state), is about to be abolished, according to a front page story from the Indian Express.
All very interesting, yes, but the best part? The paper's citation of the legal definition of a prostitute (the law was enacted in 1921): "The rules define a public prostitute as 'a woman who earns her livelihood by offering her person to lewdness for hire.'"
Hee.
Also -- and a private prostitute is...a woman?
