Pandangan Mahasiswa Muslim Terkait Penyimpangan Prostitusi Online

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between religion, prostitution, and internet use. Religion provides a unique perspective on the view of God, which influences views on sexual behaviour, including prostitution. Religion has the potential to work with commercial sex workers (CSWs) to encourage them to leave prostitution and improve their lives. The phenomenon of prostitution and commercial sex transactions is influenced by increased internet access. Prostitution is considered against the law, social norms, and religion. FSWs may engage in prostitution due to economic demands and a lifestyle that deviates from religious values. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach, which collected data from 34 Muslim students through an online questionnaire. Internet use is the independent variable, and online prostitution evaluation is the dependent variable. It is hoped that the results of this study will provide insight into how religion, the internet, and prostitution interact in modern society. This research is also relevant for exploring the definition of prostitution in various cultural and religious contexts, so that it can serve as a basis for efforts to prevent and remedy related societal ills such as prostitution.
