Decriminalise Prostitution

It’s good we as society are accepting Aarushi’s murder in Noida to be the consequence of male prejudice in society which prefer a honorable death for the females than allowing her a extra-indulgent life. Probably that’s why I can see some sane blogs in air criticizing this immaturely heinous act.

These type of individual acts of impatience have been happening in past and will continue to happen due the silent changes taking in the value system of our society. Some because of so called dark customs of past and others because of so called over bright expectations of future. Thus, I choose to keep this discussion in my private domain to think and adjust my life as per my experiences, just expecting myself to be a good human in the end.

However, what is of prime importance for us in the society as a whole is to open up and give all humans their right to choose mating partner especially for those females who are surviving outside the family system of our society without adding moral obligations. I am talking about the Legalization of female prostitution by the moral brigade fighting inside the corridors of power. To end a personal and male moral bias I would like to extend my request for adding male prostitution to this legal action.

It makes no sense to force the women and men who fed up of our system to follow the practices of our system. It has been rightly pointed out by mature friends that “Arushi’s father must have let her pass through the bad moments of night and taken her into confidence later on to change for the better than finishing her story at first instance”. Similarly won’t it make a better sense if we as a collective society allow the women in prostitution to go through their bad times and meanwhile trying to build confidence in them for the society to come back and become a part of it rather than incarcerating and stigmatizing them for their failure in life.

Instead of blaming Aarushi’s mother “Sati Vrata” for letting her husband silently go through these heinous acts shouldn’t we be blaming every single women in the Indian society who wants her morality not to be contaminated by the legal “Kulta’s ”around her sight and thus paradoxically end up getting these helpless women murdered directly and indirectly by those in power. Imagine if Arushi’s mother had a open clarity with her husband’s choices then she would have been the first informant of his habits and not the domestic help whose intention would have been nothing more than some rupees and some free sex.

Fortunately, in Aarushi’s drama one criminal (domestic help) had been killed by another criminal who has been also caught but at heavy cost of one tender life and three different families (Arushi’s, domestic help's and her father’s lover’s).

But nature is not so kind every time. It does not give a chance to the Illegal prostitutes to kill either the pimps or the pimp seekers. To add on their problems are the Human faced animals in disguise of Khaki and White clothes.

Won’t it make a bigger and wiser sense if we let every Aarushi to make her choices and parent her rather than brutally murdering her?
