The Hijab Row: A Case Study Of Karnataka




Shashwata Sahu, LL.M., KIIT School of Law


ABSTRACT


Keeping Muslim women wearing hijab out of classes is a classic case of discrimination under the constitution's equality clauses. Utilizing auxiliary examination of hypothetical texts, this article seeks to understand the concept of Hijab in Islam and its recent controversy. Muslim women's participation in education declines faster in the 15-20 year age category than in the entire population (relative to the significantly younger five year age range). Women are frequently targeted by religious restrictions all around the globe, as their dress is often deemed too religious or not religious yet in several nations. These limits typically take the form of person or group societal harassment, but they can also include formal government acts. This paper also examines the violation of Muslim's women fundamental rights to practice religion.
