In 2013, the Supreme Court held that the two-finger test on a rape victim violates her right to privacy, and asked the government to provide better medical procedures to confirm sexual assault. It then seeks to discredit her testimony based on the assumption that a woman with a sexual history cannot claim to be raped. The woman, who has borne the pain of a sexual assault, is forced to undergo the same discomfort and humiliation, which adversely affects her physical and mental health. As per WHO, neither of the methods in the two-finger test can prove that a woman has had a vaginal intercourse or not. The two-finger test must not be conducted….The test is based on an incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped. The two-finger test is an unscientific procedure that involves inserting two fingers into a woman’s vagina to determine the laxity of vaginal muscles, thereby determining ‘virginity’.

The SC bench also warned that any person performing the two-finger test would be held guilty of misconduct.

On the basis of this test observations/ conclusions such as ‘habituated to sexual intercourse’ should not be made and this is forbidden by law.” The court asked the government to provide better medical procedures in order to confirm sexual assault. The answer is no. The hymen is inspected as it can be torn only if the woman has had any sexual intercourse. [By Kanu Sarda](/author/kanu-sarda-0): Condemning the use of the two-finger test on rape and sexual assault survivors in the strongest of terms, the Supreme Court on Monday said any person performing such tests will be held guilty of misconduct.

सुप्रीम कोर्ट में सुनवाई के दौरान जस्टिस डीवाई चंद्रचूड़ की नेतृत्व वाली पीठ ने कहा कि टू फिंगर टेस्ट का कोई वैज्ञानिक आधार नहीं है और अधिकारियों को इसका इस्तेमाल नहीं करना चाहिए. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने कहा कि 2013 में बैन के बावजूद यौन शोषण की पीड़िता का टू फिंगर टेस्ट करना उसे बार-बार आघात पहुंचाता है. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सोमवार को रेप पीड़ित महिलाओं के साथ किए जाने वाले टू फिंगर टेस्ट पर सख्त टिप्पणी की है.

When responding to sexual violence, health providers are required to collect forensic evidence as well as provide therapeutic care.

Along with directions to ensure that the survivors of sexual assault and rape are not put through the two-finger test, the Union Health Ministry has been told to circulate the court’s decision widely to spread awareness. The evidence of a victim’s sexual history, it has reiterated, is immaterial to the case and the test only re-victimises and re-traumatises women. The Bench hit the nail on the head with the contention that the inhumane test is based on an incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped.

Supreme Court Ban 'Two Finger' Test: सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सोमवार को यानी 31 अक्टूबर को रेप के मामले में ...

इसका दो कारण है एक तो कोर्ट का इसे असंवैधानिक ठहराने के बावजूद देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में रेप पीड़िता का यह टेस्ट किया जाना. क्योंकि एक व्यथित व्यक्ति के मामले में प्राइवेट पार्ट की मांसपेशियां तनावपूर्ण हो सकती हैं – जैसा कि एक बलात्कार पीड़िता के मामले में होता है. वहीं डॉक्टरों का यह भी मत है कि जब प्राइवेट पार्ट की मांसपेशियों में शिथिलता का पता लगाने की बात आती है तो मनोवैज्ञानिक अवस्था एक प्रमुख भूमिका निभाती है. अपने आदेश में कोर्ट ने इस टेस्ट को मेडिकल कॉलेज की अध्ययन सामग्री से हटाने को भी कहा है. सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सोमवार को यानी 31 अक्टूबर को रेप के मामले में ‘टू-फिंगर’ टेस्ट को बैन कर दिया है. कोर्ट ने कहा कि रेप पीड़िता की जांच के लिए अपनाया जाने वाला ये तरीका अवैज्ञानिक है जो पीड़िता को फिर से प्रताड़ित करता है.

Supreme Court of India on Monday prohibited the use of rather inhumane 'two-finger test' in cases of rape and sexual assaults.

A lack of medical evidence as to the commission of rape cannot be taken to mean that no rape was committed upon the deceased. Hence, the victim’s death was a direct result of the injuries inflicted upon her by the respondent. The two-finger test or pre vaginum test must not be conducted,” the bench said. “The so-called test is based on the incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped.

The modified module on virginity test states that students will be trained on “how to apprise courts about unscientific basis of these tests if court orders it”. The bench of Justices R Subramanian and N Sathish Kumar observed that despite the SC’s 2013 observations, the test is being conducted, even on minors. In fact, the guidelines state that a rape victim’s consent (or her guardian’s, if she is minor/mentally disabled) is necessary for any medical examination. “The so-called test is based on the incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped. Later, in hospital, she was subjected to the ‘two-finger test’. The Centre’s guidelines on examining victims of sexual assault also forbid it, but the practice continues.

सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने बार-बार कहा है कि रेप के मामले में महिला या लड़की की सेक्शुअल हिस्ट्री कोई मायने नहीं रखती है। यहां बात सिर्फ रजामंदी की है और वह रजामंदी किस स्तर पर और किस हालत में दी गई, यह देखना होता है। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने टू-फिंगर टेस्ट पर आधारित नतीजों को काल्पनिक और निजी राय करार दिया है। जवाब: हां। सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने 2013 के बाद कई मामलों में टू-फिंगर टेस्ट को गैरजरूरी बताया है। यह टेस्ट जिस लड़की या महिला पर किया जाता है, उसकी निजता, सम्मान और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य से जुड़े अधिकारों का उल्लंघन है। सेक्स के लिए दी गई रजामंदी को टू-फिंगर टेस्ट के आधार पर साबित नहीं किया जा सकता। कोर्ट ने कहा, ‘यह मानना गलत है कि सेक्शुअल तौर पर एक्टिव महिला का रेप नहीं किया जा सकता है। टू फिंगर टेस्ट सेक्सिस्ट और पितृसत्तात्मक है।’ सर्वोच्च न्यायालय ने केंद्रीय स्वास्थ्य मंत्रालय को यह सुनिश्चित करने का निर्देश दिया है कि रे पीड़ित महिलाओं का आगे से टू फिंगर टेस्ट नहीं होनी चाहिए। जवाब: टू-फिंगर टेस्ट के जरिए किसी महिला से रेप होने या न होने को जोड़ा जाना एक बहस का विषय है। प्रगतिशील विचारधारा के मुताबिक किसी महिला के सेक्शुअली एक्टिव होने से उससे बलात्कार होने या न होने का कोई लेना-देना नहीं है। ये हाथों से जांच की एक पुरानी प्रक्रिया है। आमतौर पर यह माना जाता है कि किसी महिला का टू फिंगर टेस्ट पॉजिटिव आता है तो वह सेक्शुअली एक्टिव है। इसके उलट अगर पॉजिटिव नहीं आता है तो वह सेक्शुअली एक्टिव नहीं है। ‘रेप हुआ या नहीं इसे जांचने के लिए महिलाओं के सेक्शुअल हिस्ट्री को जानना जरूरी नहीं है। यह दुखद है कि आज भी रेप पीड़िताओं का ‘टू फिंगर टेस्ट’ किया जा रहा है। इस टेस्ट का कोई वैज्ञानिक आधार नहीं है। यह टेस्ट पीड़ित महिलाओं को दोबारा से दर्द पहुंचाता है।’
