The Dhaka Times Desk Whether to join the army or the police, women must first pass the chastity test! Final result is available only after passing this exam along with other qualifications!
Such a strange custom is going on in Indonesia, one of the world's largest island countries. For the last 5 decades, the Indonesian government has implemented this rule on women in various fields. If women in Indonesia want to join the police or the army, they must first give 'proof of chastity' in the qualification test!
It is known that this test known as 'two finger test' not only upsets women mentally, but also causes great damage to women's health in this very unscientific method. But to join the police or the army, men do not have to provide any evidence!
Doctors check whether a woman's hymen is protected or not. This veil is usually torn due to sexual intercourse with a man. If the veil is not in place, it is assumed that the woman has had sex. However, doctors believe that this screen can be damaged for many other reasons.
This measure has been imposed on women since 1965. Since then, women have started protesting within and outside the country. It has been criticized in various ways. In 1999, the Indonesian Human Rights Commission declared this rule illegal. The UN Human Rights Commission also demanded a ban on the test. Still nothing happened.
However, it seems that the administration, which has been silent for 5 decades, is shaking now. Recently in a video message, an army officer of the country gave a glimpse of giving up this system.
