Supreme Court allows father's early retirement claim by ignoring discriminatory regulation section violating constitutional gender equality.

The Supreme Court reversed the appellate court's denial of early retirement for a father caring for a disabled child. The Social Insurance Institution argued the father failed to prove the mother could not care for the child, but the Supreme Court found the lower court incorrectly applied a regulation section that discriminated against fathers. The court ruled this section violated constitutional gender equality and exceeded legislative authority, ordering the father's right to early retirement be recognized.
