Abstract
<p>This article reviews some factors leading to women prostitution in Iran. Efforts to address this phenomenon in every society must firstly be directed at the individual, the family, and also at economic, social and cultural factors to determine the extent they contribute to sexual crimes. In Iran, sexual offences receive significant attention because of Islamic injunctions application. The country does not permit or tolerate such offences. Since the sexual offences incidents are increasing in the world, this resulted in adverse consequences such as insecurity, the weakening of family structure, offending of public feelings and the prevalence of lawlessness. This makes it necessary, to identify the causal factors that stimulate the occurrence of such offences and to consistently eradicate them.<em> </em>This is an analytical study on the determined topic, to find out how women become manipulated sexually because of the causal factors that influenced them into prostitution activities. Despite the fact that Islamic legal jurisdiction is comprehensive and progressive and prostitution is recognised as an offence in Iran, unfortunately, it seems the offence is sometimes occurring.</p>

According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), sexual violence against women resulted in problems such as: (i) increase in dangerous sexual assaults among youths and teenagers; (ii) unwanted pregnancies; (iii) excessive pain in sexual relations; (iv) transmission of HIV/AIDS virus; (v) increase in the cost of therapeutic care for women who have been violated, in respect of the treatment of diseases and related health problems; (vi) creation of insecurity, unsafe space and fear in the community; and (vii) premeditated murders, serious injuries and suicide (Gharachorloo, 2006)
Summary
The history of the romantic relations between men and women has been the most wonderful and complicated one in human life since creation. The social reality is that perhaps, not as many women, as presently observed, would choose such a debased lifestyle as prostitution, if there were equality in society. This is because a person whose conduct runs against the cultural norms of a society and persists in immoral acts, will inevitably meet with regret, emotional suffering, self-condemnation and lack of prosperity (Sotoudeh, 2010). The main objective is to reach a better understanding of the causal factors leading to women prostitution and the prevention of this phenomenon
