Abstract	This Research paper examines the historic Sabarimala decision and its implications to the interpretation of constitutional morality concerning the rights of women in India. The case of Indian Young Lawyers Association v. by the Supreme Court. State of Kerala (2018) turns out to be a breakthrough of the judiciary towards establishing a balance between the equality of gender and the freedom of religion. As the paper reflects on the broader implications of the cases of similar nature all over India, it analyzes how the concept of constitutional morality has evolved as a courtly tool to combat the oppressions against women in religious practices. This thesis employs case law examination and doctrine analysis in arguing that the Sabarimala decision has altered the discussion of the women rights in religious settings greatly and established important precedents in the future, despite the fact that it subsequently referred to a court intervention.
Keywords	Sabarimala temple, Women’s right, gender equality, constitutional morality.
