India's Supreme Court will review a law that denies religious rights to married Parsi women, citing gender inequality in personal religious law.
The Supreme Court of India has agreed to review a constitutional challenge to a Parsi personal law that denies married Parsi women religious identity and access to institutions like the Nagpur Agyari Fire Temple, while allowing Parsi men to marry outside the faith without consequence.
The petition, filed by Dina Budhraja, argues Rule 5(2) of the Nagpur Parsi Panchayat’s constitution violates fundamental rights to equality, life and dignity, and freedom of religion.
The court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, issued notices to multiple government bodies and will examine the rule’s constitutionality, acknowledging the case’s significance for gender equity in religious personal laws.
