NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s Supreme Court said Thursday it will set law on women’s entry into temples and mosques after being asked to review its decision lifting a ban on some women entering the Sabarimala temple in Kerala state.

The court deferred a decision on petitions seeking a review of its 2018 ruling to lift a ban on women of menstruating age entering the temple’s grounds.

Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said seven judges will take up issues relating to women entering any house of worship.
