  • Women

  • Men

  • Children

  • Illegitimate descendants

Answer

According to the royal constitutions of 1923 and 1938, women could not succeed to the throne of Bhutan. This was due to the country's patriarchal society, which dictated that men were the heads of households and had greater social status than women. This rule was eventually overturned in 2008, when the country's constitution was amended to allow women to inherit the throne.
