FIR if caste panchayats do virginity test on women: Maha govt
The caste panchayats of the Kanjarbhat community will face legal action if they compel newly married women to undergo 'virginity tests', the Maharashtra government has said. The panchayat members will also face action if found interfering in rape and sexual harassment cases. This comes after a Shiv Sena legislator moved a Calling Attention motion against the practice in the state.
