What Happened
India's Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, stated Wednesday that courts cannot eliminate religion through reform efforts. The nine-judge bench noted logic may not be appropriate for examining faith systems. This statement emerged during hearings on a reference case stemming from a 2018 judgment that affirmed menstruating women's rights to worship at Kerala's Sabarimala shrine.
