successful. When a review petition was filed
before The Supreme Court in 2019, the Supreme Court placed
it before a constitution bench and since then women have been
bad. From attempting to enter the
temple, Rihanna attempted to enter the shabarimala temple
soon after the Supreme Court verdict, but had to turn back
due to protests some time later she put up a post on Facebook in
which she was dressed as a pilgrim and her thigh was
visible. She was arrested after being
accused of hurting religious sentiments.
She will receive death and ReThreads Rihanna says, she
didn't violate any laws by trying to enter the temple and
was completely justified in her actions.
