If a citizen is denied entry to a public library only on the basis of gender, which right would be violated?

Correct answer: Right to Equality

Correct answer: A. A public library is a facility intended for members of the public, so denying entry solely because a person is male or female is unfair discrimination. The Right to Equality protects people from discrimination by the state and supports equal access to public facilities. Option A is correct because the reason for exclusion is gender, an irrelevant and unfair basis in this situation. Option B is wrong because the case does not concern a person’s belief, worship, or religious practice. Option C is wrong because no forced labour, trafficking, or child labour is described. Option D is wrong because that right mainly protects the language, script, culture, and educational institutions of groups; it is not the most direct answer here. Equality does not mean that every rule must be identical in every situation; it means that distinctions must be reasonable and not unfair. Memory cue: public facility plus gender, caste, or religion discrimination usually points to equality.
