It is a set grammar pattern meaning I can’t avoid doing it, I have no choice but to do it, or more naturally here, I have to attend.
So in this sentence, 出ないわけにはいきません does not simply mean I can’t go out.
It means:
- not attending is not really an option
- circumstances make attendance necessary
It often carries a nuance of duty, responsibility, or social pressure.
Because the pattern is built as a kind of double negative:
- 出ない = not attend / not go
- わけにはいかない = it won’t do / I can’t allow myself to / it’s not possible in the circumstances
So:
- 出ないわけにはいかない
- literally: it is not acceptable to not attend
- natural meaning: I have to attend
This is a very common Japanese way to express obligation indirectly.
