An activist has approached the Nagpur High Court seeking a response from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government on the Supreme Court’s guidelines regarding discontinuing the two-finger test. The two-finger test, used to determine if a woman is habituated to sexual intercourse, has been criticized for being invasive and violating the privacy of women. The activist has urged the authorities to comply with the Supreme Court’s directives and stop the practice of conducting the two-finger test. The petition highlights the need to protect the dignity and rights of women, especially survivors of sexual assault. The Supreme Court had issued guidelines in 2013 stating that the two-finger test should not be conducted as it violates the privacy of women and is not a reliable method to ascertain rape. The petition also calls for sensitizing medical professionals on the issue and implementing alternative methods for examining survivors of sexual assault. The High Court has directed MUHS and the state government to respond to the petition and explain their stance on the matter. This development comes as a significant step towards ensuring the proper implementation of guidelines aimed at safeguarding the rights and well-being of women in India.
