According to the article this law still favours the mother ("sole custody rights (shinken) are most often given maternal preference in divorce cases").
And this law does sound like a bad thing - family courts should not be biased in favour of whoever fires the first (public) shot.
I mean according to this article that's what it says but according to other articles i've read both japanese men and women were doing this and getting sole custody. At any rate i think any foreign influence on other countries politics is bad especially if its coming from the woke West .

Not a win tbh. Japan gets straddled with half breeds.
