Introduction | | | Under the new individual identification system, there will be no more hoju in a family, thereby eliminating the male-dominated and hierarchal order to succession. Also, when women get married, they will simply need to change their marital status, not to remove herself from her previous family registry and be part of her husband’s family registry. Although this may not sound like a big change, the underlying implication is of leaving your clan and subjecting yourself to other clan, where you are inevitably the weaker, if not the weakest. | |

< | Another unfair feature of Hojuje was that a man was free to register his child born out of wedlock on his family register without the permission from his wife, while the opposite was prohibited. Also, even if a divorced woman holds parental anoud custody rights to her children, the children continue to remain in her ex-husband's family registrar, and her relationship with her children was merely defined as "residing together" under the resident registration. | >

Her children had to keep her ex-husband's family name. This generated considerable social prejudice against the children of remarried couple where three or more different family names existed; a wife's, a wife's husband and the wife's children's from her ex-husband. However, under the new law, when a woman gets married again with her children from her previous marriage, her children change their family name to their stepfather's family name with the court's approval, removing social stigma once imposed on the children of remarried couple. |
