A parliamentary panel on the imperial family approved on Wednesday a draft proposal that would help prevent the number of royals from further dwindling. 
The draft states female members can stay on in the imperial family after marriage, and former male royals of the male line can be reinstated through adoption. 
The draft, described as the “consensus of the legislature,” was submitted to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi later in the day. 
The government will then compile a revised bill that reflects the draft and have it checked by the parliamentary panel before it is submitted to the current parliamentary session, which runs through July 17. 
“Although there are various opinions on the topic, we were able to compile the best version,” Lower House Speaker Eisuke Mori said after the panel’s meeting on Wednesday.
