Statements Made By Supreme Court About The Ban Of Two-Finger Test
This court has repeatedly condemned the use of the two-finger test in rape and sexual assault cases.
The purported test has no scientific validity
It victimises and re-traumatises the woman once again
The test is predicated on the false presumption that a woman who is sexually active cannot be raped
The sexual history of a woman's testimony has no bearing on how credible her rape allegation is
The idea that a woman cannot be trusted when she claims to have been raped simply because she engages in sexual activity is patriarchal and oppressive
