India's Supreme Court rejects mandatory menstrual leave, calling it discriminatory and urging voluntary policies instead.
The Supreme Court of India has declined to mandate a nationwide menstrual leave policy for women students and workers, warning that compulsory leave could reinforce gender stereotypes and discourage employers from hiring women.
While acknowledging voluntary initiatives by some states and companies, the court emphasized that such policies should remain optional and that decisions should be made by the executive through stakeholder consultations, not judicial order.
The petition was dismissed, with the court directing the appropriate authorities to consider the issue administratively.
