I can't help wondering why any woman would have anything to do with them in the first place and why would such a woman want to stand for election. But the principle is right.

Excellent, well reasoned decision

If only it had some power in other countries! I suppose there will be the usual outcry about religious freedom but the women's rights have prevailed. (Of course, it would be better if the women left the sect.)

A religious sect in The Netherlands is not allowed to prevent women from standing for election. Good ruling. Glad to see the ECHR can and does make sensible decisions sometimes.
