Naoki Hyakuta , the leader of Japan ’s Conservative Party , suggested that women should be barred from marriage after age 25 and that they should undergo hysterectomy by 30 .

He also suggested women should not be allowed to attend university from age 18 so they can purportedly focus more on having children.

The Conservative Party leader apologized on Sunday , noting his comment was only a hypothetical “science-fiction” aimed at highlighting birthrate issues.
