  We analyze the measurement of cosmological distances in the presence of
torsion in both Einstein-Cartan and Poincare gauge theory of gravity. Using the
modified cosmological distance measurements, we use the observed time delays in
gravitational lensing systems to determine the Hubble parameter. The results
show the measured Hubble parameter from a lensing system can be less than its
expected value in General Relativity for certain models of torsion and its
associated density parameter. This can reduce the tension between late-time and
early-universe measurements of the Hubble parameter, the so-called Hubble
tension.
