Prince Paras better behave himself. If Nepal's parliamentarians have their way, the prince's female relatives may one day be able to claim the crown. First they demanded equal property rights for women, now some progressive MPs are clamouring that parliament be allowed to amend the Act relating to the royal ascension. They say the current law, which allows only the eldest son of the king, or the nearest male relative to lay claim to the throne is backward, biased, and obsolete.
