Woman Thief has Head Shaved by Angry Market Sellers

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

So at what age does a girl become a woman?

Depends on culture/society/upbringing. Generally, around the age of 18.


Edited to add some of us are still working on it decades later.

18 is purely an opinion.

There is no set age at which a girl becomes a woman. The only set way is puberty which is the transition from a lovable, innocent girl to an expensive raving lunatic.(proven by my telephone call to my daughter today who at the age of 42 still relies on me to keep her in the style she loves despite being a chartered accountant).

When the woman taking the video asked her how old she was and she replied 14, the woman called her a liar and said she didn't believe her.

convenient description for those who like their women young. While in some societies puberty marks the transition from child to woman/man, few societies ready their child for that transition mentally and emotionally. They are coddled in many societies way past that point.

See how you classify someone as "liking their women young" simply for having an opinion as to when a female becomes a woman. Wrong.

I find most women under the age of 50 to be immature and not very attractive but still women. I "like" my women to be mature and have been round the track a few times.

You have your complicated way of defining a woman which can vary from country to country and culture to culture while I prefer the simple one....puberty.

I think we can all flash back--a short time ago--to the phone thieves who got backed into a stone wall by wealthy Chinese women. One of them apparently had her phone stolen.

If the Khmer authorities are trying to discourage vigilanteism, perhaps they are recognizing that rule of law should also apply to this sort of punishment. No one likes a "Jow" in Cambodia, and this punishment could have been much worse, but still---it's a physical assault.

I was horrified when I saw them holding her down. Worried we were going to witness a rape. The girl should not have stolen the phone. Seems that the vigilantes were hitting her hard in a "let the punishment fit the crime" way. Young girl in western style jeans and very fashionable and pretty will surely remember having the crown of her head shaved for at least a year.

Don't tell me I'm wrong just because I don't agree with you. Quite frankly, I find your view creepy. You know some girls reach puberty at 12, right?

Edit. I wasn't saying YOU like your women young, I was saying for those who like their women young. However, despite what you say about who you are attracted to, you're providing a great support for some child abusers and those who take child brides

It can be done deliberately, but often it is done by mistake, especially when the poster is quoting a section which has several different posters.

Deliberate doesn't happen often here, except in FTFY cases, but it was more prevalent on TOF

I think vigilantism is accepted if the victim is poor and social media is not involved.

Facebook forces action regardless, and doubly so if the victim is rich. Wear balaclavas when dragging drunk drivers out of Mercs/Bentleys/Audis/Range Rovers.
