JLPT Taisaku 4# に関わらず/にかかわらず／に拘わらず

に関わらず／にかかわらず／に拘わらず

Meaning:

regardless of.

Example:

結婚式は天候に関わらず催されるだろう。

どうせ、時間に関わらず、俺が先に来てなかったら、さっさとネカフエヘ行く腹積もりだったんだろう。

No doubt, regardless of the time, she was planning to go to the net café without me if I hadn't arrived first.

Note: Don't confuse 「にも拘らず」with [に関わらず]

にも拘らず means in spite of.

Example:

In spite of the storm, he went out.

裕福であるにもかかわらず、彼は幸福ではない。

Though he is wealthy he is not happy.

[に関わらず] and [に拘わらず] despite the different kanji will be the same meaning.
