NEW DELHI - India’s Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to consider a petition from a Muslim couple to allow women into mosques, seeking to overturn a centuries-old practice that largely bars women from the places of worship.

The petitioners, Yasmeen Peerzade and her husband Zuber Peerzade, said that women were allowed to enter mosques during the time of the Prophet Mohammad. The court last year lifted a ban on the entry of women of menstrual age at a Hindu temple in southern India saying it was a violation of their right to worship.

The petition comes at a sensitive time for relations been minority Muslims and the majority Hindu community.

Surely, there's no law preventing any gender or religion-affiliated individual from entering a public space. Isn't it just an informal practice by Muslims which tbf is medieval and should be replaced even though it might trigger Islamists.

Whoever owns the mosque should determine admittance policy.

It took a right-wing Hindu government to fix all the political correctness bullshit from 3 decades of Liberal governance. It's time to stop pleasing the minority and apply the same standards to them as the majority of the country.

India’s SC same rule on Hindu temples have fallen on deaf ears.

On that report about a 5 year old 'falling' off a 3rd floor in a mall... you forgot to say that the BLACK man PUSHED that 5 year OLD WHITE boy. I'm mexican and i don't like the preference you are giving a group just to not upset far leftist. I'm an Obama Democrat- a centrist.
