The !upreme ourt #riday $uestioned the practice of banning women from Kerala%s !abarimala temple, and wondered if manmade customs can prescribe such prohibition when &the od does not discriminate between men and women(. ) bench led by *ustice +ipak isra said it would e-amine the issue of ban on entry of women of menstrual age in the temple on &constitutional parameters(, and adudge whether this practice was &intricately fundamental( to religious customs and hence cannot be interfered with. &The od does not discriminate between men and women, so why should there be gender discrimination in the premises of the temple,( observed the ben ch as it $uoted from a mythological story about !ati )nusuya, who had turned /rahma, 0i 0ishnu shnu and ahesh into children.

The bench also termed Kerala government%s recent stand a &somersault.( The state government, in its latest affidavit, has said the prohibition of women is a matter of religion and it is duty bound to &protect the right to practice the religion of these devotees(. /ut in its previous affidavit, it had supported a 456 seeking women%s entry in !abarimala.
