There was a case here in the UK of a Muslim pharmacist refusing to dispense the morning-after pill to a young woman, because it contradicted his beliefs. I think it went to court because the young woman fell pregnant as a result, but the pharmacist's right to refuse was upheld.
Q
I think the court is perfectly right in giving verdict in favour of pharmacist.It is morally wrong obviously.But,evert court in a sacular democracy whould have given the same verdict.I think it is appreciable that UK has upheld the right of minority to have own belief and act according to it.India would have treated that muslim pharmcist in the same way as UK's court has done.
