Virginity Test: The country’s top medical body, the National Medical Commission (NMC), has significantly changed the syllabus. NMC has taken a big step regarding teaching the virginity test. The revised syllabus states that the ‘signs’ of virginity and virginity test are unscientific, inhuman and discriminatory. The hymen topic has also been removed from the syllabus. In such a situation, let us know what the virginity test is. Also, what other big steps has NMC taken?
These Topics Also Removed From The Syllabus
According to a report from an English website, the National Medical Commission on Thursday released the revised guidelines of the Medical Education Curriculum, according to which homosexuality and sodomy have been removed as unnatural sexual crimes. Sodomy is a sexual act which includes oral and anal sex. In the revised syllabus, virginity and defloration have been defined, but topics like hymen and their types and their medical-legal importance have been removed.
In the revised syllabus, it has been talked about teaching medical students that if any order is given for a virginity test (which also includes a two-finger test) in any case, then how to tell the court about these tests being unscientific. Topics like fetishism, sadism, necrophagia, masochism, frotteurism and necrophilia have also been removed.
What Is the Virginity Test?
The virginity test is a test related to the virginity of girls. People have found various ways to find out whether a girl is a virgin or not, like a stain on the bed sheet on the first night and a finger test, etc. Not only many girls but also boys believe that first-time sex is painful and blood comes out during this time because the hymen breaks at this time. Many misconceptions are also spread among the people about this, so people believe that if this does not happen, the girl will be characterless.
What Is Hymen?
The hymen is a membrane at the beginning of the girl’s private part. It is an elastic tissue. It can stretch and adjust. Hymen is different in every girl. The membrane of the hymen of some girls is thin, and some are thick. Some have one hole in the hymen, while some have many small holes in the hymen. It is also possible that a girl is not born with a hymen.
At the same time, it is also possible that the hymen of girls can also break due to physical activity, or its structure can change. Some people think that the hymen is a type of wall that covers the vagina and breaks during sex. This thinking is completely wrong; this does not happen at all. Hymen has no connection with virginity. This is a kind of myth that people have been believing for centuries.
