During a Supreme Court hearing, the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) stated that while Islam permits women to pray in mosques, they cannot insist on entering through the main door or oppose partitions that separate men and women. Senior advocate M R Shamshad, representing the AIMPLB, emphasized the need for discipline in this context. This discussion is part of a broader examination of essential religious practices and how they intersect with constitutional rights, particularly as the Supreme Court reviews its 2018 decision that lifted the ban on women aged 10-50 entering the Sabarimala temple in Kerala.
