The Supreme Court of India has reserved its verdict in the Sabarimala case following 16 days of hearings led by Chief Justice Surya Kant. This case stems from a significant 2018 ruling that allowed women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala, challenging the traditional ban on menstruating women. The court is now addressing constitutional questions regarding the balance between the right to freedom of religion under Articles 25 and 26 and the right to equality under Article 14. During the hearings, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi highlighted religious practices within the Parsi community, particularly concerning a Parsi woman who contested her excommunication after marrying a Hindu man. The outcome of this case could have far-reaching implications for religious practices and gender equality in India.
