This article assesses the laws against sexual harassment in India through the standard economic analysis prevalent to this date. The rudimentary analysis hints at a solution of legalising prostitution to curb the menace of sexual harassment and related crimes e.g rapes, molestation, etc. The analysis points out how a choice to have sexual pleasure without facing criminal proceedings or social stigma would direct the current and potential lawbreakers to engage in paid sexual services and would reduce the burden on police machinery and legal set up. This by no means is suggestive of the fact that legalising prostitution doesn't have its share of trouble but doing so would then recognise prostitution as an ongoing activity and proper laws must be brought up so as to curb and deter any unjust act there.
