| The Supreme Court prohibited the “two-finger” test on rape victims. | According to the Supreme Court, it is improper to subject rape or sexual assault survivors to the “two-finger” or “three-finger” test. The Center and state governments were ordered to review the curriculum in medical schools by a bench presided over by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud. The SC argued that the government should also make sure that survivors of rape or sexual assault are not subjected to a test known as a “per vaginal” test. The instructions must be distributed to both government and private hospitals, the court said. According to the Supreme Court bench, this test has no scientific foundation and neither supports nor refutes claims of rape. It insults women’s dignity and re-victimizes them. In order to assess whether a woman is “habituated to sexual intercourse,” a doctor must enter her fingers into her vagina and measure the degree of laxity. |
