Japón aprueba ley que mantiene sucesión imperial masculina

El parlamento japonés aprobó enmiendas a la Ley de la Casa Imperial que limitan la sucesión al trono a los herederos varones y permiten que las princesas mantengan su estatus real tras casarse con plebeyos, según AP News. La iniciativa, respaldada por el Partido Liberal Democrático, surgió ante la preocupación de que solo quedan tres herederos masculinos en la línea imperial. Los críticos, citados por CNN, argumentaron que permitir que las mujeres hereden el trono podría aliviar la crisis de sucesión.

La cámara baja aprobó las enmiendas, que también autorizan la adopción de parientes masculinos lejanos, y la cámara alta dio su consentimiento posteriormente, informó AP News y NPR. La ley final mantiene la sucesión exclusivamente masculina y otorga a las princesas el derecho a permanecer en la familia imperial después del matrimonio, según PBS.
