Muslim woman denied French citizenship over handshake
The ruling stated that the woman did not fully conform to the norms of the French community, hence, her citizenship was denied.
France's most noteworthy authoritative court has denied a French citizenship to an Algerian Muslim who declined to shake hands with authorities amid her citizenship function.
A woman was denied a French passport after refusing to shake hands with high-profile French municipal officials at a formal citizenship ceremony in the city of Isere, South-Eastern France.
The government refused her naturalisation, saying she was "not assimilated" for denying the symbolic ritual.
She appealed, but France's highest administrative court upheld the ruling.

France's court of last appeal said the government has not "improperly applied" the law.
