What is interesting about their prostitution is that much of it is done under the pretense of a temporary marriage called a mut’ah marriage, mostly exclusive to Shias based on their interpretation of a Quranic verse.
Look up “mutah marriage”, and you’ll be surprised at what you find in the results.
Reminds me of a story I heard about a prostitution hotel in a red light district of a city. I heard that the hotels ask people to sign in as “Mr. and Mrs.” And the reason they do this, is that if the cops show up, the people running the hotel can say, look ,everybody signs in as Mr. and Mrs., they are all married couples, there’s no prostitution going on here, etc. etc.
