The National Medical Commission (NMC) in India has sparked outrage by revising its forensic medical curriculum to reintroduce ‘lesbianism’ as a ‘sexual offence,’ contradicting a 2022 Madras High Court directive. The updated curriculum also emphasizes the ‘importance of the hymen’ and defines ‘virginity’ and ‘defloration,’ further fueling concerns about perpetuating outdated and discriminatory practices.
