Old Man Asks for Dowry Refund After His 17yo Wife Leaves

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.

Damn, she's already looking for the door.


I bet it was the professional photographer at the wedding who held up this Samsung phone and told her to look over at the door.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

my gf's sister married a local guy, he paid $3,000 dowry, after a week she went back home and had to pay him back the $3,000
She was with him for almost a year and her father doesn't seem inclined to give back the money. So he's not getting it back, it's probably long spent.

To be fair, he doesn't look particularly excited either.. And what's that lady spraying on him? Has he got
Spoiler:
body odour
hence why the bride is looking and breathing the other way? thumbdown

Look, let's face it....forget about the age gap...it's just a case of poor personal hygiene which caused them to argue daily. Now being an older dude, he's a bit set in his ways..sorta like trying to teach an old dog new tricks..and he just doesn't wanna use deodorant.

No wonder the girl wants out.. :dragonchase:
That's the bit that happens at the end of the wedding, your guests pretend to do your hair, the other one'll have a pair of scissors. Out with the old, in with the new, etc.

Ah, I must confess my knowledge of the intricacies of khmer weddings is very limited. I went to one 2 months ago but didn't stay long on account it was a fair way out of PP and our car lift driver wanted to go early. Mrs Cargo is taking a day off work to go to one in a few days out at Kirirom..half way to Snook apparently..I'm passing on that.
