Her brother ran away with US$3,000 after cajoling the then 17-year-old to leave Cambodia to marry. Brokers split the remaining US$7,000 paid by her Chinese husband, who got himself a longed-for heir.

But her wedding to a stranger thousands of miles from home, in a language she could not understand, was ill-fated from the start.

She is one of tens of thousands of young Cambodian, Vietnamese, Laos and Myanmar women - and girls - who marry Chinese men each year, plugging a gender gap incubated by Beijing's three-decade-long one-child policy.

Others move for work but end up forced into marriage. The worst cases involve kidnapping and trafficking across porous borders.

I thought, after the problems with Mr. B., that the word chink is racist and not allowed on this forum.

This over 50 cannot marry rule still leaves it wide open for millions of 40s wife starved chinamen..
