In India after a female is raped the two-finger test is done..The finger test is relevant for the defence..If the medical report says that two fingers have passed, the defence can show that she is habituated..
Such arguments humiliate the victim more..Its a direct insult for a girl's right to dignity, respect,privacy and health...usually no examination of other parts of her body is done even thought she might have injuries all over her body..this test in real doesn't establish anything. It is outclassed,irrelevant and meaningless and only increases the prejudice which exist against a survivior.
Also, we should not comment on survivor's private life,which is protected under section 21 of Indian constitution
Apart from this fact there are other factors that make a victim's life a living hell....before even the survivor can even cope with the shock she is tortured by media and the public ...it becomes difficult for her to walk in public with her head up..
Was it the girl's fault that she was target of someone's horrible plans..she was just a victim...
At one point she might even get over with what had happened to her in the closed four wall room..but the trauma of being a public disgrace is just too much to deal with..
All we need to do is respect their privacy..not comment on there character...
It becomes our duty to extend a helping hand and see thro' the pointlessness of any comments made on the victim's life by the media or the public..or the defense..

Isn't it strange that everything is "ASSumed" in these scenarios which make no sense... like the assumption that unless raped or married, women are virgins?! isn't this a pressure to stay a virgin? does the law too do these moral policing by installing middle-class values at the subliminal level? What if a unmarried, unraped girl claims to be raped and has passed the finger test... will it prove that the accused is to be convicted?!
