How the Sabarimala case triggered larger, complicated questions on religious practice
b'When the Supreme Court ruled on a batch of review petitions challenging its 2018 verdict that allowed women aged 10-50 entry into the Sabarimala temple, it failed to deliver a verdict. Rather it sought an \\u2018authoritative\\u2019 pronouncement from a larger Bench on the balance between freedom of religion and other fundamental rights. The hearings will now cover these \\u2018larger questions\\u2019 and also take into its ambit issues such as\\xa0the entry of women into mosques, the entry of Parsi women married to non-Parsis into an\\xa0agyari, and the practice of female genital mutilation among Dawoodi Bohras. How did we get to this more confused and complicated juncture, and what lies ahead?
