discrimination against women

　On 16 Dec,the supreme court declare if the civil law against the Constitution. I’ve been interested in it. People have paid attention the regulation which makes six month time-limit of remarriage after divorce only for women. And wondering the choice of family name, at present, few men choose their wife’s name. It forces women to change their family name.
  In 1988 the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women commented about the Japanese women’s situation.
 The Committee felt that the de facto situation of Japanese women legged far behind the legal situation.
 Whether under the Constitution all people are equal, there are discrimination in the political, economic, or social fields.
 I think all adults should make efforts to exclude them. But law itself should  have equality. The Civil Code used to be unfair.

 I’ve read the news to see the supreme court declare the time limit should be 100 day, and the civil code forcing the same family name is constitutional.
 I’m disappointed so much. There is inequality between men and women in choosing their family names. Women have difficulty to conserve their identity, which is personal rights. The Constitution article 14 says all the people are equal under the law, but the Civil Code make women suffer. I think it is irrational.
