Note 49 — IV.—MALE PROSTITUTION, AND PARTICULARLY THAT OF THE STUDENT, THE OFFICIAL, AND THE SOLDIER.

The applications of the law which forbids the marrying a victim of seduction are sometimes grevious. Thus, an officer lost his post for making the offer of reparation to a young girl, whom moral tortures and the pangs of child-birth were putting in danger.
