c7.37

Kautilya seems to have been well aware of the sexual aberrations prevalent among those who visited public houses for he has provided punishment for such offences. For extra-vaginal intercourse the offender was fined. The basis of the rules framed by Kautilya in connection with sexual aberrations seems to be that a prostitute after accepting payment from a client was expected to surrender her body to him, but any improper demand or misbehaviour rendered the contract null and void.
