The Supreme Court of India is resuming hearings on the Sabarimala Temple case, which addresses discrimination against women in religious practices. The nine-judge bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, will consider seven critical questions regarding the scope of religious freedom under the Constitution of India. This follows a landmark ruling on September 28, 2018, when a five-judge bench lifted age restrictions on women visiting the temple and deemed Rule 3(b) of the Kerala Hindu Places of Public Worship Rules, 1965, unconstitutional. The questions for consideration include the interplay between individual rights and those of religious denominations, the meaning of 'morality' in constitutional terms, and the extent of judicial review over religious practices. The court's decision could significantly impact the rights of women and the interpretation of religious freedoms in India.
