Overview

• The salon advertised 40% off on Wednesdays exclusively for women who wear headscarves.
• A woman without a headscarf filed a complaint with Hannover’s anti-discrimination office, which the city confirmed.
• Owner Celal Kilic says the promotion publicized a women-only floor where Muslim clients can remove headscarves and receive service from female staff.
• Legal opinions diverge: Gregor Thüsing sees indirect unequal treatment that could be justified by objective reasons, whereas Volker Boehme-Neßler calls it clear discrimination without such grounds.
• No court ruling or enforcement action has been reported.
