The Liberal Democratic Party Parliamentary League, which favors selective surnames for married couples, has put together a basic idea for law revision, such as maintaining the current family register system even if the system is introduced.
Opinions are divided within the Liberal Democratic Party regarding the introduction of a selective surname system for married couples who can give their surnames before marriage if they so desire, and a working team is being set up to discuss the matter.
Under these circumstances, the Parliamentary League, which is made up of members who are in favor of the introduction, held a general meeting in the Diet on the 10th and summarized the idea for law revision.
In this discussion, we will continue discussions by widely sharing with the public the recognition that the current family register system, in which a couple and a child are registered as one family register even if the system is introduced, will be maintained and that family ties will not change. I'm going to do it.
In addition, regardless of whether the couple has the same surname or a different surname, the child's surname will consider a legal system that is in the interests and welfare of the person.
On the other hand, the Parliamentary League has decided to ask the government to conduct an opinion poll in order to grasp the public awareness of the system, and will apply to the Minister for Women's Advancement Marukawa on the 10th.
