Japan’s Imperial Family Continues to Shrink
日本皇室家族持续缩小
Princess Mako, the eldest granddaughter of Japanese Emperor Akihito, will soon be marrying a commoner and giving up her royal status. According to imperial law in Japan, a princess must leave the imperial family when she weds. The heir to the throne in Japan is always male, and there are only a few males left in the imperial family. Many people in Japan think women in the imperial family should have the right to ascend and bear heirs to the throne. If the laws don’t change, the family will shrink further. Under the current law, the 83-year-old Emperor is also not allowed to give up the throne until he dies.
日本明仁天皇的长孙女真子即将脱离皇籍，嫁给一位平民。根据日本皇室法律，公主结婚时必须放弃皇家身份。日本的王位继承人通常都是男性，而皇室家族中只剩下了几位男性。日本很多人认为皇家的女性也应拥有上升权和王位继承权。如果不改变法律，皇室家族将继续缩小。根据现有法律，时年83岁的天皇直到去世才能放弃王位。
