Menstrual Leave Debate | 'Nobody Will Hire Women': CJI
Mandatory menstrual leave for women could 'adversely impact (their) employment' because employers 'will not hire women if we make such a law', Chief Justice Surya Kant said Friday.
Such a law would also 'create a psychological fear or impression among working women... that they are 'less' than men', the Chief Justice argued this morning as the court heard a petition by a lawyer, Shailendra Mani Tripathi, seeking direction to states to frame paid menstrual leave rules.
