Yes, I thought its a Troll too in the beginning.

#1 Your doubts seem to be stronger then your Love
#2 She seem to be very traditional with a blend of western - what she thinks - understanding
#3 Ring is only important in upperclass Kmer/Asian Society, where do you see her in terms of class ?
#4 Ring can be seen as Backup/Bride money and is totally ok
#5 She try to save your money - Great
#6 The shark pool is telling you there are no Khmer virgins above 24 ... but yes, there is. Which is a incrediable unimportant BS point to me but ok, its about you and trust
#7 A Khmer Teacher can earn 300$/Month (back in 2013) if there are special skills like languages french/english - my wife did 360$ when I met her in 2010
#8 You only know what you get, if you try it out
#9 She seem to be living in France on the grace of her family and yes, the older sister will then be the Boss and RESPONSiBLE for her in the eyes of her family
#10 Your fmily worries are all the same in western countries, no, you dont need to pay till her life ends in case it get wrong !

* with the Pool Shark I mean, that there are not so many Users here in the Board, that are actually married with Khmers, rather then having short terms and not really having the right feeling on red-flags ... except on rumors and their "shyness" on long term. Forgive me community

I would use the money 10k, to buy her a piece of land in Cambodia, as a BackUp and go for a 50$ ring ... my wife just lost her ring but we are a very happy couple, seeing many, many red Flags in the beginning ... after 8 years and now in Germany

Most don't understand about having a healthy diet, and when they are over 30 they begin to look like old ladies.

If you wanted a Cambodian wife, I would not marry someone older. There are some very nice younger girls.

explorer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 12:51 am Before marrying a girl like that, live in Cambodia for a few years and learn about the culture. They don't have our values, and don't think like us. You will only understand it after living in Cambodia for some time. Ideally you should learn the language, and spend a lot of time with the Cambodian people.

There are many different individuals, including some very nice girls who would make good wives, but:

Most of them are poorly educated, and have the maturity of children in our culture. You may be able to reason with a well educated person, but a poorly educated person may never understand.

In most relationships, there is a power game, where she tries to act superior to you, and tries to manipulate and control you. (Cambodian men also play these games.)

Most are not honest. Expect never ending deception.

Most don't understand about having a healthy diet, and when they are over 30 they begin to look like old ladies. On average, they have health problems 20 years younger than us, and die 20 years younger than us. (It should not be as bad if she lives in France.) (This excludes the foreign men in Cambodia who die as a result of excessive alcohol consumption, or drug overdoses.)

There are many more things I could say, but you need to live in the culture to understand.

Even a good one would be very different to someone in your own culture.

Issue 2

If you wanted a Cambodian wife, I would not marry someone older. There are some very nice younger girls.

Issue 3

Even if you marry her, she may be deported. You may have to live in Cambodia for many years to be with her. If you work in Cambodia, you will probably have a very low income, to the point where you can't stay. When you leave, she may pick up other men.

Issue 4

If you did marry a Cambodian girl, and lived in France, she would have a much better life than living in Cambodia. Sometimes I wish the nice girls could marry a good foreigner, so they can have a good life.
