REPEALED!<\/strong> In December 2022, Japan abolished the discriminatory waiting period for re-marriage altogether. This change will take effect in April 2024.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Article 733 of Japan\u2019s Civil Code prohibits women, but not men, from remarrying for 100 days after the dissolution or annulment of a marriage. Articles 772 and 774 state that a child conceived by a woman born 200 days after marriage or within 300 days of the end of a marriage shall be presumed to have been conceived during marriage, which may only be rebutted by the husband.<\/p>\n
