💨 Abstract

The Chhattisgarh High Court has ruled that a woman cannot be forced to undergo a virginity test as it violates Article 21 of the Constitution, which guarantees her fundamental right to protection of life and liberty, including the right to dignity. The court stated that granting permission for a virginity test would be against the woman's fundamental rights, cardinal principles of natural justice, and her secret modesty.
