Alice is summing up my feelings...
So, Japan doesn't recognise same sex marriage (although Tokyo Disneyland does!)
But, with rules like these still in existence for heterosexual couples, who'd want to get married anyway??
Under rules that have changed little since World War II, married couples must use the same surname and women are barred from remarrying within six months of their divorce.
Any baby born within 300 days of a divorce is automatically the former husband's and children born out of wedlock have far fewer rights to inherit than their legitimate siblings.
Women can marry at 16; men must wait until they are 18; one divorcing parent must completely give up custody of their child, a rule that usually means an estranged father all but disappears.
Jeez.
