Woman can't be treated as 'untouchable' for 3 days: Justice Nagarathna in Sabarimala case

Supreme Court Justice BV Nagarathna stated women cannot be considered untouchable for three days monthly. This remark came during hearings on discrimination at religious sites, including Sabarimala. The court is examining petitions on women's rights and religious freedom. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta objected to the 2018 Sabarimala judgment's view on untouchability. The hearing continues on these crucial matters.
