Japan revises law to expand imperial family
Japan will revise its imperial household law in an effort to expand the pool of eligible heirs for the Chrysanthemum Throne. The change will allow the imperial family to adopt male distant relatives over 15, and will also permit women to keep their royal status even after marrying someone from outside the family. It does not address the possibility of a woman ascending to the throne and becoming emperor, despite the idea having wide public support.
