Indonesian Army Chief Gen. Andika Perkasa told army commanders in July that the required medical check-up in the recruitment process for female officers should be similar to the male medical test, signaling the end of the so-called “virginity test.”
He said applicants should only be assessed on their ability to take part in physical training, adding that the application for male army personnel to get married should now cover only “administrative matters” without requiring a medical check of officers’ fiancées.
