Evidence

This is not an argument against parents raising children in religious traditions. It is an argument that the manifestation of religious convictions in the form of physical treatment of children requires the children’s own rights to be balanced against the parents’ rights. Baroness Hale’s analysis is the clearest judicial statement of this principle in UK law. — , The Rod and the Child, 9370
