In Bangladesh, meanwhile, the Supreme Court is due to get its own opportunity to shoot at an open goal. The Supreme Court has ample justification for overturning the lower court’s decision on the grounds of stopping gender discrimination. It is barely tenable to even argue that religious views have any relevance here. I do hope though the Supreme Court talks through the case in more detail. But the point of constitutions over and above laws in general, is to give judges more noble objects to pursue and protect.
