I’m glad that a humiliating practice such as the two-finger test has finally been dropped (“ >Bible of forensic medicine drops two-finger test to establish rape, ” June 3). It is a positive sign of attitudinal change. That the new chapter of A Textbook of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology calls on hospitals to provide not just medical and psychological but also medico-legal support reflects the change in our mindset towards rape victims. As there continues to be stigma towards the victims, the suggestions are noteworthy.
