夫婦別姓、議論活発化も　国会のやじ契機に―自民

　結婚する際に同姓か別姓かを選ぶことができる選択的夫婦別姓をめぐり、自民党内で発言が相次いでいる。国会でのやじがきっかけで、党内に賛否両論ある中、議論が活発化する可能性もある。
　岸田文雄政調会長は２７日の記者会見で、夫婦別姓について「必要に応じて議論を考えなければならない」と党内論議の必要性に言及。「保守的な考えを持つ方から『家名を残すための夫婦別姓を考えてほしい』との陳情が増えてきた」とも指摘した。（2020/01/27-19:51）

Heckling heard during a recent meeting at the Diet, Japan's parliament, may spark active debates within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party on a dual surname system for married couples in the country while there still are both pros and cons to the system.
   At a press conference on Monday, LDP Policy Research Council Chairman Fumio Kishida said that "we should hold discussions as needed" on whether to allow couples to continue using their respective surnames after they get married. "People with conservative views are increasingly requesting the party to consider allowing the use of separate surnames in order to preserve the family names," he added.
   During last Wednesday's plenary meeting of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, a person shouted out that people who want to have separate surnames "just don't have to get married."
   The heckling came when Yuichiro Tamaki, head of the major opposition Democratic Party for the People, called for the introduction of the dual surname system. Opposition parties see the remark, thought to have been made by a female lawmaker of the LDP, as problematic.
   Many within the LDP, especially conservative lawmakers, remain firmly opposed to the dual surname system.
