Supreme Court bans ‘unscientific’ two-finger test on rape survivors

The Supreme Court banned the two-finger test on rape survivors today. This is the second time the top court has spoken against the practice. The SC bench said the test re-victimises and re-traumatises the women. Moreover, it is based on the assumption that a sexually active woman can’t be raped.
