Virginity test for women — are they accurate?

virginityEvery single day we’re inundated with questions about how someone can check a person’s virginity or even how one can hide their status of being a non-virgin. Here are a few tests that are commonly done. But are they really accurate? Let’s find out. Also Read - Didn't have sex for a while? No, you won't grow a new hymen

This is often done by checking for the hymen, a thin layer of skin that partially covers the external vaginal opening. While many believe that it’s an accurate way of checking a girl’s virginity, that’s just stupid because the hymen breaks with very little pressure and can even break during exercises like riding the cycle or swimming, much before a girl has sex for the first time. And it’s impossible to tell when the hymen breaks because the other myth associated with it — women bleed when the hymen breaks — is equally false. But people still believe in the myth, so much so, that hymen reconstruction surgeries continue to be very popular.

Two-finger test

The other common virginity test is the equally monstrous two-finger test which was earlier used to check ‘sexual activity’ in rape victims. The Supreme Court of India has held that the two-finger test on a rape victim violates her right to privacy, and asked the Indian government to provide better medical procedures to confirm sexual assault. Human Rights Watch had strongly criticised the test as ‘degrading and unscientific’ and a second assault on traumatised women, and raised concerns about Indian courts bringing views of rape victims’ general moral character into their rulings. The test is worryingly inaccurate because there’s no accurate way to check the laxity of vaginal muscles to determine if a girl is habituated to sexual intercourse.

We can conclude that there is not really an effective test to check a woman’s virginity. These tests are not a way to judge if a woman is really a virgin or not. They have no place whatsoever in the 21st century.
