Marrying a prostitute

Q:

1. Is marrying an escort girl (prostitute) permissible if she is ready to quit that job forever?

2. Why Zina is haraam? I don’t find any thing which is harmful.

A:

1. Yes.

2. Allah Ta`ala has declared it as haraam, like how He has declared swine as haraam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
