“This court has time and again deprecated the use of two finger test in cases alleging rape and sexual assault…The test is based on an incorrect assumption that a sexually active woman cannot be raped. Nothing can be further from the truth,” said the apex court in its judgement which came on an appeal against a high court order in the case. The Supreme Court said, “The probative value of a woman’s testimony does not depend on her sexual history. It is patriarchal and sexist to suggest that a woman cannot be believed when she states that she was raped merely because she is sexually active”.
