MONTREAL: In a historic judgement, a Canadian court ruled on Wednesday that a judge cannot refuse to take testimony from a woman because she is wearing an Islamic veil.
The Quebec Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that a citizen may wear any religious attire in a courtroom so long as their "religious beliefs are sincere" and they do not "conflict with another person´s constitutional rights"
Montrealer Rania El-Alloul, a Muslim, was expelled from a courtroom in 2015 for wearing a hijab.
Judge Eliana Marengo of the Court of Quebec had cited a court ruling that every person must be "appropriately dressed" and compared El-Alloul´s headscarf "to a hat or sunglasses."
