French Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia Claim You Need To Make $2,500 a Month To Marry a Cambodian ONLY IF You're Over 50
A Frenchman says he was told by a representative at the French Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia that in order to marry his Cambodian sweetheart he did NOT have to show that he made over $2,500 USD a month because he was under the age of 50.
Surely that information can't be correct?

Whatever about the law, you need to be making decent wedge to afford to get married here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Since you don't need to show any income or be younger than 50 to have sex with your girlfriend, you can now concoct the absolute greatest excuse in history not to tie the knot with her. In many countries you can just declare the girl as your partner or your fiancé to enter her into the immigration procedure. All you have to do is to prove that you have slept with her at least 50 times over the last 6 months. Just make sure to every time refer to the great sex you have had by email and add pictures of used condoms. She should be good for an immigration visa. Man-made law is great!John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Jun 14, 2017 10:39 pmWhatever about the law, you need to be making decent wedge to afford to get married here.

The French Embassy doesn't issue KH marriage certificates so it means fuck all, it's just the beginning of his saga if he's that green.

Correction.
In those circumstances, you cannot receive a marriage certificate in Cambodia -- but who cares -- because you will receive one anywhere else in the world.
So, for example, if you satisfy the marriage requirements in the Philippines or similar country -- which are usually trivial -- you can marry a Cambodian over there. Just fly there with Air Asia, for two times fifty dollars, and request the document.
Foreigners and Marriage in the Philippines
When either or both of the contracting parties are citizens of a foreign country, it shall be necessary for them before a marriage license can be obtained, to submit a certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage, issued by their respective diplomatic or consular officials.
Hence, they will just need a legal declaration that you are not married already.
You can get the Cambodian sangkat to issue this for your bride -- they don't know what it is for anyway -- then get the Cambodian department of consular affairs to certify it (which is indeed a diplomatic authority), and then get the Philippine embassy in Cambodia to certify the document for use in the Philippines. Furthermore, it will be a lot cheaper to do the certificate there. Very few countries try to turn the marriage procedure into a money-making cash cow aimed at sucking people dry or into a bureaucratic nightmare. It is, in fact, considered very bad taste and an abuse of power. Only in Cambodia, they are dumb enough to try to do a thing like that.
Once married in the Philippines, Cambodia cannot refuse to recognize the Philippine documents, because the result of doing so, would be that the Philippines will start rejecting documents issued in Cambodia. Furthermore, it is your God-given right to request a marriage certificate in any jurisdiction of your liking. The Cambodian government has no authority whatsoever to interfere in Philippine procedures. Hence, the person who invented that law in Cambodia is a retarded idiot, trying to impose his stupidity onto others. Man-made law is simply replete with imbeciles "not getting it".
