The “presumption of legitimate status” system will be changed from April 1. If a woman remarries, any child born within 300 days of divorce will be presumed to be her current husband's child.
The 100-day ban on women remarrying will also be abolished. Minister of Justice Koizumi expressed his intention to raise awareness of the new system. He said he wants children to be raised without fear under the new civil law, so we will be disseminating information.
