Meghalaya bans "two-finger test" on rape survivors, aligning with Supreme Court's stance.

The Meghalaya government has banned the controversial "two-finger test" on rape survivors, as confirmed in a circular issued on June 27, 2024. This decision aligns with the Supreme Court's earlier condemnation of the test as invasive and lacking scientific validity, which re-victimized women. The circular mandates that all medical practitioners in Meghalaya refrain from conducting the test, with disciplinary action for non-compliance.
