Downloads
Abstract
The Sabarimala temple dispute has been a sleeping scandal. “For decades there has been a lowlevel disagreement within Kerala regarding the ban’s parameters and validity, but the issue received relatively little traction in the public sphere.”i Finally on 28th September 2018, the Supreme Court struck down the rule which barred girls and women of the age of 10-50 years from entering into the Sabarimala temple situated in Pathanamthitta district of Kerala. “A five judge Constitution bench headed by Deepak Misra gave a 4-1 verdict said the temple rule violated their right to equality and right to worship”ii. The judgment allowing women access to the Sabarimala temple has held that the constitutional guarantees of dignity and equality scores over old customs and practices cutting across religionsiii.
