Purity ring is not intimately linked to religious belief

Regina (Playfoot) (a Child) v. Millais School Governing Body

“A school’s refusal to allow one of its pupils to wear a purity ring, demonstrating her commitment to sexual abstinence prior to marriage, did not infringe her right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion protected by the European Convention on Human Rights.”
