However, the victim's husband was then beaten up by the suspect and his gang

To our western eyes that seems wrong but it’s perfectly normal in many countries. Monetary compensation is preferred to any custodial sentence or court proceedings (which would award it anyway) and it’s a way of quickly fixing the issues.

Wether this appeases the wife who’s been violated I don’t know. I don’t think she has a choice…or maybe she’s the one that negotiated?
(Which brings me to a question - most of the married local men I know all let their wives sort out the finances, so wages are given straight to the wife, but in Cambodian culture there’s whisperings that females are of lower class than males? So how does that scenario work.)

Prince Andrew I'm sure would disagree with that!

Regarding female status in Cambodian society, it has always been much more complex than 99% of people think. Women have always had considerable power here, especially when compared to other countries in the region (eg China). I read somewhere that the females' revered status in financial matters dates back to Angkorian times (Zhou Daguan, I think?).
