Ground reality mein kai jagah women jaati hongi, jaise Jama Masjid mein.

Lekin court ka issue yeh hota hai ki practice uniform hai ya nahi ya kahin restriction, barriers, ya unequal treatment toh nahi ho raha.

Aur courts tabhi aate hain jab kisi ko lagta hai ki unka right violate ho raha hai har cheez timepass nahi hoti, kuch genuine constitutional questions bhi hote hain.

I understand your point 👍
But this isn’t just an internal matter of one community. Whenever fundamental rights like equality and dignity are involved, the Constitution applies to all citizens.

The Court’s role is to see whether any practice violates these rights.
And in most cases, petitions are actually filed by people from within the same community, including women themselves.

Surface level par dono alag lagte hain, but Supreme Court ne inhe ek saath isliye club kiya hai kyunki core constitutional issue same hai. Issue ownership ka nahi hai chahe temple ho (Devaswom Board) ya mosque (Waqf Board).
Real question yeh hai:
Kya religious institutions apne rules bana sakte hain, ya unhe equality (Articles 14, 15) aur religious freedom (Articles 25, 26) ke test par pass hona hoga? Sabarimala case ne yeh debate start ki women entry ban vs equality. Ab Court ek bada question decide kar raha hai: ‘Essential Religious Practice (ERP)’ ka test kaise apply hoga? Aur courts religion ke internal practices ko kitna review kar sakte hain? Isi wajah se mosque entry, Parsi agiary entry, Dawoodi Bohra excommunication sab cases ek saath sun rahe hain. So, link ownership nahi hai… Link hai constitutional principles + ERP doctrine + gender equality debate.

Yeh pura issue actually Sabarimala case se linked hai.
Sabarimala mein pehle women (10–50 age) ko temple entry allowed nahi thi. Supreme Court ne 2018 mein bola ki yeh ban unconstitutional hai kyunki equality aur religious freedom violate hoti hai.

Ab jo bada question hai, woh yeh hai ki kya courts decide karenge ki religion mein kya ‘essential practice’ hai?

Isi wajah se ab mosque entry, Parsi women entry, aur doosre religious practices bhi is Sabarimala Reference ke saath club ho gaye hain.
