I agree with both LadyZ and Cerek that if nothing else, this law is discriminatory towards women. I also agree that it is not (quite) rape, but there is a large element of coercion involved, even if it not outright forcing a woman to have sex against her will, and therefore almost as bad.

I'm a little confused by it all though really. If the woman is working as a prostitute, why would she still be receiving unemployment benefits? Unless the government is her pimp...

Why is prostitution singled out as her only option? Weird.
