An activist has approached the Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court seeking a response from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test. The two-finger test, which involves a medical examination to determine the elasticity and laxity of the vagina, has been widely criticized for being invasive and humiliating for women. The Supreme Court had issued guidelines in 2014 directing all states and union territories to discontinue the practice due to its lack of scientific validity and violation of the right to privacy of the survivor. The activist has urged the court to ensure that MUHS and the state government comply with the Supreme Court’s directives and take necessary steps to end the practice of the two-finger test. The petition highlights the importance of upholding the dignity and rights of women, especially survivors of sexual assault, and calls for the implementation of more modern and less intrusive methods for conducting medical examinations in such cases. This development comes amid ongoing efforts to improve the response to sexual violence in India and ensure that survivors are treated with sensitivity and respect.
