Also so called 'female slave trading' which is going on is more easy to fight for law enforcement in countries with registered clubs and prostitutes.

With on Ferre, had the same debate with a friend a month ago. Making it illegal based on "grounds of morality" is a head in the sand approach. Sure, maybe it "feels good" to make it illegal, "it's the right thing to do". The reality is that making it illegal causes so many real life problems that "it feels good / it's the RIGHT thing to do" ain't any sort of justification for it.
