¡Double Marriage
¡Tachibana Rei / Cho
Description
[Machine Translation] When Kenichi Katsuragi, a general manager of a major trading company Goi Shoji, took his family register to apply for a passport, he found the name of a Filipino woman named "Lopez Maria" in the marriage column, along with his wife's name. What on earth was going on? Was the family register hijacked? Shouldn't bigamy be prohibited in Japan? When we inquired with Mr. Yamashita, assistant manager of the Citizen's Division of the City Hall, he replied in astonishment, "There is a crime of bigamy in the penal code, but the civil code only stipulates that a person who has a spouse may not enter into a second marriage, and that the person may request an annulment of the marriage. The answer was surprising.
