The major opposition Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA) will back a proposal for securing more imperial family members through adoption, sources said Thursday.

At a related internal panel meeting, the CRA reached an agreement to back the proposal, in which male members on the paternal line of former imperial family branches would be adopted back into the family.

It also reaffirmed support for another proposal that allows female members to retain their imperial family status after marriage. However, divisions remain in the party over whether the husbands and children of such female members should be given the status as well.
