日本皇室繼承法擱淺 安倍否決“女天皇”

據(jù)報道，日本首相安倍晉三已經(jīng)決定否決修改皇室典范，拒絕采用讓女性繼承天皇皇位的建議。與此同時，安倍建議日本朝野繼續(xù)進行討論，但“女天皇”已不在討論范圍內。討論的重點將是如何確?；饰焕^承的穩(wěn)定性，以免再次出現(xiàn)后繼乏人的難題，這將意味著德仁皇太子的女兒愛子公主將與女天皇稱號無緣。
安倍作出這一決定和紀子妃去年9月誕下男嬰悠仁不無關系。這是日本皇室近41年來增添的第一名男丁。悠仁的降生使日本皇室缺乏男性繼承人的難題暫時得以緩解。

Prime
Minister Shinzo Abe has decided to scrap a government panel's proposal to let women
ascend to the Japanese throne ,
according to a newspaper report.
.
Abe would still consider amending the
rules for royal succession as the
world's oldest monarchy faces a crisis due to its male-only succession
tradition, the conservative Sankei Shimbun said without citing
sources.
.
It said the decision by Abe, who had been wary of letting women
take the Chrysanthemum Throne, was made possible with the September birth of
Prince Hisahito -- the first boy born to the imperial family since
1965.
.
The birth was a dream come true for conservatives, and led
then-prime minister Junichiro Koizumi to suspend widely popular plans to
introduce female succession.
.
Crown Princess Masako, a former career
woman who makes few appearances due to the stress of adapting to palace life,
has only one child from 13 years of marriage -- four-year-old Princess
Aiko.
.
Traditionalists believe the imperial family has descended from a
male line dating back more than 2,600 years. Historians agree the lineage dates back from at least the sixth century
AD.
