Japan changes succession law but keeps ban on female emperor
Japan's parliament enacted changes to imperial succession rules on Friday, allowing distant male relatives to rejoin the imperial family and women to retain royal status after marrying commoners. However, the legislation keeps the ban on female emperors, despite opinion polls showing broad public support for allowing women to ascend the Chrysanthemum Throne. The reform is partial and does not resolve the broader issue of a shrinking pool of potential heirs.
