Regarding the introduction of selective married couple surnames, the LDP Parliamentary League, which is made up of cautious members, has passed a resolution calling for a revision of the law so that the maiden name can be included in the family register as a nickname in order to promote the use of the maiden name before marriage. I summarized it.

Regarding the introduction of a system of selective surnames for married couples who can give their surnames before marriage if they wish, the LDP has divided opinions in favor and caution, and a working team is being set up to discuss.



Under these circumstances, the Parliamentary League, which is made up of members who are cautious about introducing the system, held a general meeting in the Diet on the 11th and put together a resolution.



It points out that selective marital surnames must be discussed calmly and cautiously, as there is a concern that parents and children having different surnames will adversely affect their children.



In addition, in order to promote the use of the common name of the old surname before marriage, a new system that allows the old surname to be listed as the common name in the family register will be established, the law will be amended to secure the legal basis, and the same as the election promises so far. The next House of Representatives election pledge also calls for a statement that it will work to expand the use of the common name.



The Parliamentary League will soon apply for this resolution to party executives.
