“Lord Komuro must be given a firm explanation to the people, as His Imperial Highness the Emperor said, before being written in various weekly magazines, and must be married with the blessing of the people. “
It is controversial that former House Speaker Fumiaki Ibuki (82) of the Liberal Party presented Kei Komuro with an “unusual complaint” in a second-class meeting on December 3.
At his birthday reunion, Mr. Akishino said that he would “accept” the marriage of Ms. Mako and Ms. Komuro. As for the reason, Mr. Akishinomiya said: “The constitution also states that marriage is based solely on the agreement of both sexes. If people really feel that way, parents should respect it.” Regarding Mako’s marriage, he said that he should respect the freedom of marriage specified in the Constitution.
However, according to the FNN report, Mr. Ibuki said: “According to the law that establishes the requirements of the people, the imperial family is a human being and one of the Yamato and Japanese peoples.” Although it is a symbol of the unification of the Japanese people, it is not legally a Japanese people. “
Furthermore, “the media has written various things about the marriage of Mako and Kei Komuro, such as that the agreement of both sexes and the pursuit of happiness is a basic right, but legally it is a little different.” He pointed.
On Twitter, about Mr. Ibuki’s series of comments, “He told me a lot!》 《There is no way of thinking about an individual》, but there are also voices that question, 《The basic human rights guaranteed by the Constitution are just for the “Japanese people” !?》.
As Mr. Ibuki said, will the freedom of marriage and the right to seek happiness be restricted in the case of the imperial family?
Koichi Yokota, Emeritus Professor at Kyushu University, who has written books such as “The Constitution and the Emperor’s System” (Iwanami Shoten), says: “In my opinion, it is natural for His Imperial Highness Akishino to mention Article 24 of the Constitution”. Inside is Mr. Yokota).
“I think His Imperial Highness Akishino’s words are correct to my understanding. I believe that the royal family has human rights, so it is not that His Imperial Highness Akishino is based on the constitution on the marriage of the two. I take it for granted. seated. “
However, it is said that there are various ways of thinking within the Constitutional Society.
“It is true that the Constitutional Society has the idea that the constitution does not apply to the royal family. However, even if it is based on that idea, if the human rights of the royal family are restricted, the basis must be in the imperial standard “. Hmm. For example, the restriction that only men can be emperors, whether or not it violates the Constitution, is a legally based restriction set out in the Imperial Code, but the basis for restricting royal marriage is the Imperial Code. It is not inside. Even if you think from the point of view that the constitution does not apply to the royal family, Mako is not legally restricted. “
Once again, I listened to Mr. Yokota’s thoughts on Mr. Ibuki’s comments.
“There are no legal restrictions on the royal family’s marriage, so there is no reason to be restricted. Mr. Ibuki’s comment that ‘it is a bit different legally’ is basically incorrect.”
Mako, who was stated in a document published on November 13, “Marriage is a necessary option for us to live while protecting our hearts.” Being a royal family does not legally limit your decision.
