Mauritania 🇲🇷
Country District Guide
❌ Prostitution Illegal
Mauritania vehemently outlaws every facet of the sex trade, governed entirely under an unyielding interpretation of Sharia law fused within the national Penal Code. Any engagement in adultery, fornication, or commercial sex results in devastating legal and physical punishments, ensuring absolutely no formalized or structured red-light economy can legally or safely exist anywhere in the country.
