Women Of All Ages Can Enter Sabarimala Temple, Says Top Court, Ending Ban

Women of all ages must be allowed in Kerala's renowned Sabarimala temple, the Supreme Court ordered today, ending ban on the entry of women between 10 and 50 years. "The practice of age restriction on women entry to Sabrimala temple can't be treated as an essential religious practice," said the court in a majority four-one judgement.
