If you’re a Japanese woman and you and your husband divorce, better not get remarried and have children, they’ll not be considered ‘Japanese’! Even the United Nations Human Rights Committee has condemned the main warmongering east Asian ally of the United States over it (the law was created in 1947 under the dictation of the occupying United States).
No, I’m not talking some medieval law, it’s the current law in Japan: A woman who gets divorced cannot remarry for a minimum of six months (Article 733). Any marriage within six months is considered void, and if any children result from that marriage they are not considered legitimate citizens and could even be considered the ‘property’ of the former husband! By the way, this law does not apply to divorced men!
What should be an archaic law is now in the news because a Japanese couple are suing in court to have it changed. This is not the first time the Japanese Supreme Court might change such a drastic law, in 2008 the court halted the practice of not granting citizenship to children of single mothers.
Also, in Japan you are not considered ‘human’ unless you are a Japanese citizen, (“In Japan, all citizens were allowed to practice their traditional lifestyles, use their languages and exercise their religions freely, including citizens of Okinawa. Nonetheless, the Government of Japan recognized only the Ainu people as an indigenous people.”-UN Human Rights Committee) therefore Human Rights only apply to officially recognized citizens. This is the same law that evil Imperial Japan and evil Nazi Germany had, you know, those two countries accused of starting the Second World War and slaughtering tens of millions of people. Especially the Japanese who publicly beheaded Prisoners of War from the British empire, Soviet Union, China and United States, etc. because they were not considered ‘human’ (they even used them for biological warfare experiments). Even the Nazi Germans had more respect than that for Prisoners of War (as long as you weren’t Slavic, Hebrew, homosexual or a gypsy).
