Japanese Women Sue For Right To Keep Surname
A group of five women are suing the Japanese government in an attempt to eliminate the 1896 law that requires couples to take the same surname when they marry, a law that they say violates their civil rights but which conservatives uphold as a means of binding families together. What do you think?

Japan shouldn't worry too much. There are plenty of other ways to confine women to their prescribed role.
