Japan amends imperial succession rules amid ongoing male-dominated traditions over public will
Japan's revision of the Imperial Succession Law maintains the ban on women ascending to the throne despite widespread public support and excludes Princess Kako from eligibility to reign. The new law states that males from distant branches of the Imperial Family, who are over 15 years old and unmarried, can be included to ensure the presence of a male heir in the future. However, the monarchy continues to be limited to a male lineage. Although more than 70% of the population supports a woman taking the throne, conservatives insist on preserving traditional male succession, which has generated widespread discontent and undermines the popularity of the Imperial system as a symbol of the nation.
