Lad hung himself after mom refused to get him a wife

Kandal: Because he was upset with his mother as she refused to get him a wife, the young man decided to hang himself in the house.

The corpse was found by the relative around 1:30 pm on 23 April 2015 in Srah Pou village, Phsar dek commune, Kandal province.

According to the report from police, the victim names Hem Chok, 20 years old.

The motive led to the tragedy, the young man asked his mother to betroth him with the girl in the same community. Then his mother told him that she doesn't have money. You need to wait until I get the loan from the organisation. After that he replied, if you don't go to betroth her for me I will commit suicide.

Having hear what her son said, she was so worried. She immediately went to borrow the money from the organisation/ micro finance. Then when she arrived home, her son already hung himself.

i have no sympathy for this lad. His family should not have felt guilty. I can't imagine how he would treat his wife if he managed to get married with her. He is such a really irresponsible and impatient dude.

He should have been patient a bit. He was too young to get married!

I agree completely. He tried to manipulate his mother and he would probably treat his wife very poorly. I say there's no loss, as long as the mother gets her loan money back.

It happens a lots in the province. It is all about culture and ignorance of people. In the province, people tend to get married in young age and most of them don't have their own money for the wedding. They would do whatever to force their parents to get them a wife. I think this has something to do with ignorance. Most them don't go to school and never learn how to hold their own responsibilities and critical thinking.
