Prostitution in Australia contradicts the status of South Australia here, and also provides information for Western Australia.

Prostitution in Eritrea is listed as illegal (bright orange) which is wrong, because it is in fact legal and regulated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeragito (talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Prostitution in Eritrea is illegal.

But South Australia needs to be changed to blue; Western Australia is also blue.

Iran
Prostitution in Iran is legal. They call it "marriage for one day".--MathFacts (talk) 09:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * True. This map is misleading as concerns Iran. In Iran, female prostitution is legal and regulated. Iranian law refers to it as "temporary marriage". Consequently, the client is called a "husband" while the fees that he pays to his "wife" is called mahr. These marriages tend to last a couple of hours. Iranian men may take up to four wives simultaneously, and can divorce them at any time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.216.138.5 (talk) 22:32, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Russia
Prostitution? Infraction and optional $5 fine = Technically legal. Pimping, on the other hand, is punished by lengthy imprisonment. Thus, that map should be a lot bluer. 208.127.80.135 (talk) 00:34, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Prostitution is legal and regulated in Haiti. Brothels are allowed and must meet certain regulatory requirements in order to be listed as a legal brothel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesblack (talk • contribs) 17:02, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Turkey
Is green in some maps, blue in this one. I think it should be green. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.201.101.19 (talk) 03:21, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Sweden, Norway, Iceland
The map is incorrect, prostitution is not illegal in Sweden, Norway, or Iceland. Unless you define prostitution as something other than offering sex for money.

I think you need more colors though, because our laws don't really fit with green, blue, or red. (Blue is the closest match so it should be used until someone decides on a new color.)

Kyrgyzstan
The article on prostitution in Kyrgyzstan states that it is illegal, whereas the .svg image suggests that it is legal. I have no idea which is true, but figure that there should be consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.5.147.177 (talk) 06:45, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
