French court orders to lift ban on meetings at places of worship

A French court has ordered the removal of the blanket ban on meetings at places of worship in the country within the timeframe of eight days.

The order has raised several eyebrows. Some have questioned the order released by the French court.

The country has not yet fully withdrawn the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the Covid-19 outbreak, through it has announced some relaxations recently.

The court has observed the ban as disproportionate. It believes the ban may cause serious damage to the society.

France is one of the worst affected countries in the continent of Europe. As many as 28,000 people had lost their lives in the country due to the outbreak.

Currently, all gatherings in places of worship are banned except for funerals, which are limited to 20 people.

Some have welcomed the order released by the French court.

It is not the first time that a request to reopen places of worship has been made. Similar request has been raised several times before.

The court order means that the country can no longer restrict its people from going to the places of worship of their choice.

The latest move may trigger some serious long term impact.
