공주 대신 36촌 아들이 왕위 승계? …UN도 "성차별" 비판｜지금 이 뉴스

The amendment to the Imperial Household Law, recently passed by the plenary session of the Japanese House of Councillors, is sparking controversy as it strips princesses of their right to succession and opens the way for a male distant relative (36th degree relative) to inherit the throne through adoption. While the amendment recognizes that a princess can retain her royal status after marriage, it completely excludes the status and succession rights of her husband and children. Consequently, the system has faced fierce criticism both domestically and internationally regarding issues of bloodline legitimacy and gender discrimination, with the UN also stepping in to indirectly criticize the measure. According to local opinion polls, the approval rating of the Takaichi Cabinet has plummeted to 41%, its lowest since its inception, in the aftermath of the forced passage of the bill. 📢 Now, live coverage of the issues! ☞ Watch JTBC Mobile Live https://www.youtube.com/@jtbc_news/st... ☞ Subscribe to JTBC YouTube (   / jtbc10news  ) ☞ JTBC YouTube Community (   / jtbc10news  ) #JTBC News Official Page https://news.jtbc.co.kr Facebook   / jtbcnews   X (Twitter)   / jtbc_news   Instagram   / jtbcnews   ☏ Send a Tip https://news.jtbc.co.kr/report Broadcaster: JTBC (https://jtbc.co.kr)
