Actually even the Charter of Human Rights aknowledges the death penalty and killing soldiers during war.
Not to mention the special anti-terrorism laws pretty much every country has, and no-head dragon is a terrorist group.

I wonder how he will pull that off, because from what they said they want it to be seen public in some form of challenge, which Tatsuya can simply refuse.

Another thing I don't get is how this even came to be, I thought his aunt /the Yotsuba Clan is one of the 10 clans too, and just stranger than the rest together...

Because the relationship between the Yotsuba and Tatsuya is hidden him winning is seen as somewhat undermining their authority as they exist in part to keep all the rest of the mages in line as the leaders of Japan's magicians and therefore are seen as the Strongest of mages. Jumonji's solution is marry him in to one of the ten families.

So I don't understand how it comes that Tatsuya's aunt agreed to that decision of making him Marry someone from the 10 clans, or doing a contest against him to show off something they intend to keep secret.
