In light of the Supreme Court's order in State of Jharkhand vs Shailendra Kumar Rai in 2022, which statement is false?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The false statement is that the two-finger test is scientifically sound. In Shailendra Kumar Rai, the Supreme Court held that it has no scientific basis, cannot establish or exclude rape, and violates the survivor's privacy, integrity and dignity. A woman's sexual history does not determine consent or credibility, and hymen status cannot prove or rule out sexual violence.
