Married couples must choose the husband's or the wife's name, and about 95 percent take the man's
Tokyo – Six couples sued the Japanese government on Friday seeking the right to use different surnames after marriage, filing the case to coincide with International Women's Day.
And if couples don't marry this affects a host of rights including those surrounding children, inheritance and tax. "But the fact that we are not legally a married couple -- even though we've lived together as a family for 17 years -- could cause problems such as being unable to become a legal heir, or being unable to provide consent for a surgery, or tax law-related disadvantages," she said.
The suit seeks "confirmation of illegality of the government's failure to amend the law" and compensation of 500,000 yen per plaintiff, according to a statement.
