Chennai, October 22: Women have been moral policed several times for the clothes which they chose to wear. In a shocking incident in Chennai, a woman wearing jeans and a sleeveless top was barred from giving her driving test. The RTO officer refused to take her driving test because he found her dress 'inappropriate'. According to a Times of India report, the woman said that she really wanted the driving licence so she rushed home and changed to a salwar kameez set.

The report further mentions the incident of another girl who was made to return from the test centre because she was wearing capri and a shirt. She was asked to change into some decent clothing. When she opposed, the inspector gathered a few of his colleagues who also said the same thing regarding this unwritten rule.

There shouldn't be any restriction on the attire of a candidate during a driving test because all that is required is one must be of 18 years of age and above and should be of sound mind. There was another report published a few months back about an incident in Kolkata where a girl was slapped by another woman was said she deserved to be raped because she was wearing shorts. The rise of such incidents makes us wonder which century are we living in!
