The Orissa High Court recently urged medical professionals to desist from conducting the "Two Finger Test" on sexual assault victims while saying it "Violates Privacy, Mental Integrity". As per a report in Live Law, the Orissa High Court directed all medical professionals to desist from conducting a "two-finger test" on the victims of sexual assaults to ascertain their virginity. The single Bench of Justice Sangam Kumar Sahoo also stated that the test is unconstitutional, being averse to the invaluable dignity of the victims of sexual assault. "The medical professionals while conducting medical examination on the victims of rape and sexual assault cases should desist from two-finger test in the private part of the victim which is also known as virginity test as the test violates the right of such victims to privacy, physical and mental integrity and dignity and hence, not at all permissible under the law. It is no less than adding an unforgettable insult to an unhealed injury," the court said. HC on Pornography: Privately Watching Porn Video Without Exhibiting It to Others Will Not Attract Offence of Obscenity, Says Kerala High Court; Quashes Criminal Proceedings Against Man.
