Shakti Mills gang rape case: Will Dhingra apologise?
- 5 years ago
A 19-year-old telephone operator who was allegedly gang raped at Shakti Mills on 31 July was subjected to the archaic 'two-finger test', despite a Government Resolution issued against it by the Maharashtra government the rape victim stands victimised twice over with her trauma only being compounded
In fact the Supreme Court has ruled that the results of a 'finger test' cannot be used against a woman, and that a rape survivor's 'habituation to sexual intercourse' is immaterial.
As justice Dhingra claims there is no alternative suggested but it is not too hard for the government to get its home and health ministry's together to set up a panel of experts to look at the relevance of the two-finger test as evidence. There is no scientific basis to this test, since no doctor can determine whether or not a woman has a sexual history, unless she chooses to narrate her sexual biography.
