BERLIN, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- A German court ruled that a dental practice that refused to hire a Muslim woman because she wanted to wear a headscarf at work broke the law.
The woman, whose name was not reported, had applied for a dental assistant internship at the Spandau-based dental office in the summer of 2011, The Local.de reported Thursday. Despite her qualifications and getting along with staff, she was told that she could not have the position unless she removed her headscarf.
