Japan's princess left the royal household after marrying her classmate

I mean yeah, thats how majority of asian cultures work

After marriage a woman is considered part of her husband lineage not her birth parents

sexist af

genuine question: if she didn't marry someone who was not in the royal family, who could she marry, her cousin??? or is the japanese royal family very big. also i hope this couple would be happy:)

I checked the Imperial family member list and, the princess did not even have a male cousin to marry to. The only male family member below 50 years of age is Prince Hisahito, her younger brother.

that's true love
