In a recent report, Haryana alone contributed to 58% of all gender verification test cases filed across India in the past three years.
The Tribune has reported that Haryana alone accounts for 58% of gender verification test cases filed in India over the last three years. This concentration highlights a significant regional disparity and raises questions about the prevalence of such procedures in the state. Legal experts suggest that the high figure may reflect stricter enforcement or increased scrutiny in Haryana, but also point to the need for stronger safeguards against potential misuse. The data underscores the urgency of a nationwide policy review to ensure fair and non‑discriminatory practices in gender verification.
