In '''Caste-based prostitution''', members of a certain [[caste]] are traditionally expected to be involved in the [[sex industry]].
==History==
In [[India]], groups associated as prostitutes include the [[Banchhada]], the [[Nat caste]], the [[Perna caste]], the [[Bedia (caste)|Bedia]]s. It is believed that such groups were often nomadic in the past who settled into small villages which were to be known as "Prostitute villages". During the [[British Raj|colonial period]], such groups were often classified as "criminal tribes" under the [[Criminal Tribes Act]] and often lost their sources of income under the resulting persecution.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Even though they are now termed Denotified and Nomadic Tribes of India (DNTs), they are still more commonly known to mainstream society as "Criminal Tribes".<ref name=Aljazeera2/>
==Current practice==
In [[India]], an estimated 100,000 lower-caste women and girls work in prostitution, some as young as 10, as a family trade. They are groomed by their own families into prostitution often from birth. While boys are often preferred to girls in the country, with sex-selective abortions causing a skewed gender ratio, the birth of girls among some low-caste villages built around prostitution is celebrated as the arrival of future breadwinners.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Sometimes younger girls are stowed under beds to observe others at work. Often, girls are married after puberty and are physically abused if they then resist going into prostitution by their in-laws, who expect their son's wife to contribute to the family finances.<ref name=Aljazeera2>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> The younger the girl, the higher the price tends to be for sexual services.<ref name=Aljazeera1/>
This practice is most concentrated in the central Indian state of [[Madhya Pradesh]].<ref name=Aljazeera1>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
