The Twist of Fundamental Rights

Sabarimala Temple Case: The Kerala Government issues a notification allowing women of all ages to enter a temple. A group of devotees challenges this in SC claiming it violates their fundamental right to practice their religion freely. Does this violate Article 15(3) which allows the state to make special provisions for women in favour of their 'educational or economic interests'? Most people would say yes, but that's the trap.

The correct answer is no. While it might seem like 'educational or economic interests' is a plausible argument, the SC ruled that it's not applicable in this case as it's not about women's 'educational or economic interests', but their 'spiritual' interests.
