Sister Lucy Kalapura, at 60, has been enrolled as a lawyer with the Kerala High Court Bar Council, a significant achievement following her expulsion from her religious congregation. She began her law studies after retiring as a mathematics teacher and aims to provide legal support to women facing injustice. Her expulsion in 2019 was linked to her participation in protests against Bishop Franco Mulakkal, who faced rape allegations. Church authorities cited 'lifestyle violations' for her dismissal.
