The Supreme Court on Monday questioned whether restricting entry of a particular gender into places of worship can be a matter of managing religious affairs, adding that it will test the validity of such rules on constitutional principles.

?Gender equality is a constitutional message and they (temple management) cannot say that this (banning women) comes under their right to manage religious affairs?we would test the validity of such restrictions on the constitutional principles,? observed a bench led by Justice Dipak Misra.
