BREAKING| Supreme Court Bans Two-Finger Test; Says Its Based On Patriarchal Mindset That Sexually Active Women Cant Be R***d

The Supreme Court on Monday prohibited "Two-Finger Test" in r**e cases and warned that persons conducting such tests will be held guilty of misconduct.

It is regrettable that "two-finger test" continues to be conducted even today, a bench comprising Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli lamented while restoring the conviction in a r**e case.

"This court has time and again deprecated the use of two finger test in cases alleging r**e and sexual assault. The so called test has no scientific basis. It instead re-victimises and re-traumatises women. The two finger test must not be conducted....The test is based on an incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be r**ed. Nothing can be further from the truth", the bench observed while pronouncing the judgment.

"The probative value of a woman's testimony does not depend on her sexual history. It is patriarchal and sexist to suggest that a woman cannot be believed when she states that she was r**ed merely because she is sexually active", the bench added.

The bench directed the Union Health Ministry to ensure that survivors of sexual assault and r**e are not subject to two finger test.

The Bench directed the Union Govt, as well as State Governments to ensure that the guidelines formulated by the Department of Health and Family Welfare (proscribes two finger test) are circulated to all Govt and private hospitals.

The Bench further directed to conduct workshops for health providers to communicate appropriate procedure examining survivor of sexual assault.

It also directed to review curriculums in medical schools so that the two finger test is not prescribed as one of the procedures to be adopted while examining survivors of sexual assault and r**e.

The Court was deciding an appeal filed against a judgment of the Telangana High Court which overturned the conviction recorded by a trial court in a r**e case.
