Sumario:This paper aims to observe the prostitution practices of underage girls in Argentina in the first decades of the 20th century and to problematise the contradictions in relation to consent. To this end, it reconstructs a case through two judicial files carried out by the Criminal Court of the Province of Buenos Aires in 1915 for the crime of “corruption of women”. Considering the processes as judicialised records in constant negotiation and dispute, it investigates the trajectories of those involved and explores the arrangements that guaranteed the reproduction of everyday life at this time, strained by the dichotomous meanings inherent to consent.
