शारीरिक मर्यादा, शारीरिक मर्म

The context here is the violation of the "bodily integrity" of a "sex worker" by her captors or brutes. शारीरिक शुद्धता, शारीरिक सफाई, शारीरिक पवित्रता, शारीरिक अक्षता, कौमार्यता, or शारिरिक सुस्वस्थता are nowhere in the picture as far as a "sex-worker", a captive in a brothel is concerned. These expressions are meant only for the women of higher classes that are living in their families.
Adding insult to the injury is that the captors or ruffian customers violate the bodily integrity of the victim as well--some extinguish cigarette bits upon the face or other parts of the body of a prisoner, other enjoy their sadist tendencies, yet others let loose their perversion.
Peer comment(s):

neutral chaman4723 : violation can be of that which is unviolated. Moreover integrity is a psychological term which is violated only against a person's wishes/will. Without force violation can not takr place.
