Activist petitions HC for response on discontinuing two-finger test as per SC guidelines, seeks MUHS, govt reply.

An activist has recently filed a petition in the Nagpur High Court seeking a response from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test for sexual assault survivors. The two-finger test, which involves a medical examination of a woman’s vagina to determine if she is habituated to sexual intercourse, has been widely criticized for being invasive, traumatic, and lacking scientific validity. The activist is calling for the MUHS and the government to provide information on the steps taken to stop the practice of the two-finger test in line with the Supreme Court’s directives. This move comes as part of a larger effort to ensure that survivors of sexual assault are treated with dignity and respect during medical examinations. The petition highlights the importance of following established guidelines to protect the rights and well-being of survivors. The High Court is expected to hear the petition and issue a response in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates on this important issue that impacts the rights of sexual assault survivors in India.
