Overpopulation novel about a man ripped to pieces by a starving mob, and state-registered prostitutes
Definitely published no later than 1974, set in the future on Earth.
I only remember the final scene. A man visits his ex-wife, an official state-registered prostitute whom anyone can legally use. I remember a sentence, "you would never have guessed she was thirty".
After seeing her he's trapped in a room or cell and a starving mob is outside and he's literally ripped to pieces as he tries to escape.

HI there. That's some info already, but please take a look at these guidelines on story-ID, see if they trigger any more memories you could edit in. As for the mail - that's not really the way things are done here, answers will be posted as answers... But we do have some prominent story-ID answerers, so make sure to keep an eye on that question! :)
