The hearing on the Hijab controversy took place in the Supreme Court for the eighth day on Tuesday. Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta said that hijab is not a mandatory part of Islam. There are some Islamic countries where hijab is being opposed and women are protesting against it. The court asked - in which country? On this SG said – in Iran. This proves that wearing hijab is not mandatory in Islam. After this, the court adjourned the hearing till Wednesday.
The Iran incident that SG mentioned in the Supreme Court, first know it...
In Iran, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was taken into custody by the police for not covering her head. Mahsa was of Kurdish origin. She fell into a coma while in custody and died on 16 September. After this the anger of the women flared up.
Women are demanding that the hijab should be made optional instead of compulsory. They say why should they be killed because of the hijab. Five people died in police firing on protesters protesting moral policing. More than 80 are injured. Read full news of women's demonstration against moral policing in Iran here...
Dhoti can be worn in Vedashala, but it is not good in educational institution: SG
Mehta said that one can wear a dhoti in a Vedashala or Pathshala, but wearing a dress showing religious identity cannot be allowed in secular educational institutions. Mehta further said that suppose tomorrow the Bar Council of India bans Tilak, then it will continue till someone proves that it is a compulsory religious ritual. In Tilak's case, it can be said that it is not religiously obligatory.
Mehta said – till 2021, no girl has any problem with the hijab ban
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told a bench of Justices Hemant Gupta and Sudhanshu Dhulia that on March 29, 2013, the Government Pre-University Girls College, Udupi, passed a resolution and fixed the uniform. Then the hijab was not made a part of the uniform and at that time no girl had any problem with this uniform. When the petitioners also took admission in this college in 2021, they also followed the rules of uniform.
