In this article, the main issue addressed is the restriction on the use of religious objects, specifically the full-face veil, as an infringement on the right to religious freedom protected under ninth article of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The research objective is to examine how European states justify and implement these restrictions and to evaluate the stance of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in these cases to establish a standard for limitations based on its jurisprudence. The study reveals that various European states have imposed bans on burka or nicab in public spaces, citing reasons related to secularism, gender equality, security, and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. Through the analysis of ECtHR judgments, it is observed that the court assesses these restrictions by applying a broad margin of appreciation in the application of the proportionality principle. Additionally, throughout its jurisprudence, the ECtHR allows for exclusion in the case of veils worn by Muslim women and inclusion in the case of clothing worn by Muslim men and Catholic religious objects. Finally, an independent analysis is conducted based on the ECHR and the ECtHR's jurisprudence, concluding that the prohibition of full-face veils is a measure that violates the right to religious freedom. It is not always pursued for a legitimate purpose, less restrictive measures are available, and it is not necessary in a democratic society.
