Judge ' s Lament
Mrs Shizuko Nakamura, wife of an Osaka school teacher, filed suit for divorce on the ground that her husband’s income wasn’t enough for them both and she had to sell her kimonos. Judge Tani ruled that a man’s inability to support his wife wasn’t enough for divorce. “If it was,” he said sadly, “most women—particularly judges’ wives —could divorce their husbands in Japan today.”
