Strict rules

According to the strict Law on the Imperial House of Japan, despite the fact that the princess Mako, according to the system of succession to the throne, can not inherit the throne because she is a woman (after Emperor Akihito her uncle ascends to the throne, then her father, and after him - younger brother), for marriage with a man who does not have blue blood, her renunciation of the title of princess is necessary.
