33As regards the question of whether that national legislation constitutes indirect discrimination, that concept must, in the context of Directive 79/7, be understood as meaning that there is discrimination based indirectly on sex in a situation where an apparently neutral provision, criterion or practice would put persons of one sex at a particular disadvantage compared with persons of the other sex, unless that provision, criterion or practice is objectively justified by a legitimate aim, and the means of achieving that aim are appropriate and necessary (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 May 2019, Villar Láiz, C‑161/18, EU:C:2019:382, paragraph 37).
