A German court barred a Muslim woman from serving as a judge or prosecutor due to her headscarf, citing state neutrality, sparking criticism over religious discrimination.
A German court has ruled a Muslim woman cannot serve as a judge or prosecutor because wearing a headscarf violates the state’s requirement for judicial neutrality, citing concerns over public perception of impartiality.
The decision, made by the Darmstadt administrative court, follows a similar ruling in October in Lower Saxony.
The woman refused to remove her headscarf during proceedings, prompting the court to prioritize state neutrality over religious expression.
Human rights and religious freedom advocates have criticized the ruling, calling it discriminatory against Muslim women and a barrier to equal participation in public office.
