| Abstract: | The European Court has often reiterated the principle that "the advancement of the equality of the sexes is to-day a major goal in the Member States of the Council of Europe; this means that very weighty reasons would have to be put forward before a difference of treatment on the sole ground of sex could be regarded as compatible with the Convention".
