Prostitution The Country's Permissible Income from the Mamulek era until the Mohammed Ali Reign
2019
Overview
Prostitution is illegal according to all heavenly religions; yet during some eras,. prostitution and prostitutes spread all over the country as it was supported by the government, being a main source of income for the state treasury. At the very beginning, prostitution was sacred. Afterwards, it became a social phenomenon, in which an absolute desire for prostitution replaced the religious belief. Prostitution has become a main requirement for its own sake. In ancient Egypt, prostitution was on a narrow scale, and continued till the Roman era. During the Abbasid era, the brothels, run by men and women still existed. The Mameluke rule lasted for a long time when prostitution was disguised for a while, then it began to be public. During the Ottoman period, some people were for prostitution, others were against it. Immediately after the French invasion during the period (1798-1801), the French opened the door to prostitution, exactly the same as it is in France. They organized brothels, and allowed the Egyptian women to practice prostitution without any restrictions or police attacks. Since that time, prostitution had become formal. It was not expected to be banned when the French left Egypt. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, prostitution still existed, and recognized by the government. It continued to be recognized till 1834. In the light of such data, the present study is intended to follow up its different stages trying to highlight those periods in the history of modem Egypt, within the framework of clarifying the reasons for prostitution, its forms, and different names, besides the different names of the taxes imposed on the prostitutes. The study also aims to recognize the new form of prostitution and the reasons for making Napoleon quarantine the prostitutes, and the reasons for making Mohammad Ali Pasha allow prostitution at the beginning of his rule, and why he decided to ban it in 1834.
