The Sabarimala Row: Right to Equality

This is regarding the Sabarimala temple row that’s taking place in India since the last many months where women are not allowed to enter the temple to pray. The Catholic Church is the only place of worship where not only women but people of all faiths and communities are allowed to enter. When God created human beings in His own image and likeliness (Genesis 1: 27), why are women being discriminated from entering temples?

Isn’t it unfair and disgusting that women are treated inferior to men by some people of a certain community? When will men learn and treat women in par with them? When Adam was without a partner, God created woman and named her Eve. This Eve should not be treated as a sex symbol.
