The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of a Muslim woman who was denied a job because of her headscarf.
Abercrombie & Fitch Co refused to hire Samantha Elauf because her dress violated the clothing retailer's "Look Policy" for sales staff.
Ms Elauf wore a hijab at interview but did not say she was Muslim.
But Justice Antonin Scalia said the retailer "at least suspected" that she wore a headscarf for religious reasons and she did not need to make a request.
US law requires that employers must "reasonably accommodate" an employee's religious beliefs, as long as it does not provide an undue hardship to the business. [BBC] Read more
