No old men for Cambodian women

Topics

THE Cambodian foreign ministry announced last month that foreign men who are older than 50—or who earn less than $2,550 per month—are henceforth to be banned from marrying Cambodian women. “We want people getting married to look like proper couples” and not appear “like a grandfather and a granddaughter,” as Koy Kuong, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, told the English-language daily The Phnom Penh Post. Oddly a foreign man older than 50 is prohibited from marrying even Cambodian women of their age or older. Lonesome and indigent foreign women might take heart to note another discrepancy: they are still allowed to marry Cambodian men

I read this story sometime back. It's a true thing that many foreign old men go to Cambodia and marry young women. It's good to see the Cambodian govt is putting a limit on their age and income before marrying.

"The foreign ministry insists that its marriage directive is legally binding even though it did not pass through parliament".

The foreign ministry is taking a firm stance!

Many older men and women prefer younger mates. As long as the decision is mutually bond, I don't see why the government wish to interfere.

I wonder if the unmarried Cambodian women protesting, or taking this stance lying down?
