I agree 50% with your idea. Yes, you have more choices and self-independent than us. That's why I appreciate you. In Cambodia people value family is priority so marriage is very important for us. I think it is difficult to raise up a family for a man can't even earn enought money for his marriage, but he shouldn't kill himself. If you don't have money you still have wife. I saw a couple on facebok who married without money. They just bought some fruits and considered they are husband and wife. Khmer call Sen. If you don't have money , you can do a very small wedding.Anchor Moy wrote:We know that Little salary. That makes it worse don't you think so ? In about two weeks, two young guys in Kandal Province have hung themselves because they can't (afford to) get married. Also, in Khmer society, it is very important to get married. Marriage is a big step in your life; it is like passing into adulthood.prahkeitouj wrote:It's not the same.Bitte_Kein_Lexus wrote:I'm 99% sure this has been already posted.
For many westerners, it is not such a big deal to get married - you can stay single or you can live with someone without getting married. BUT we can also get married with no money or very little. We have more choices about how we live.
It's so sad to see kids killing themselves because they feel that they have no choice - they have money=get married: have no money= no wife.

I agree that prostitues can reduce raping, cheating on women and attract tourists. :pSamouth wrote:
You are right Anchor Moy, we don't have many choices in life or how we want to live our life. Marriage is really important for us. Sometime even though we don't want to get married, but our family will force us to do so. They see it as our obligation that we need to do. i was lucky enough that my family understand me and just let me do whatever i want to and don't really care how i want to live my life as long as i don't do bad things. Our culture is suck when it comes to talk about keeping the virginity until you get married. Here it comes to talk again about saving face. if we live together without marriage, we will technically degrade the reputation of our family. The neighbour will talk bad about our family and the news will soon be spread in the whole community. Social pressure and acceptance, people would be soon to judge you if they saw you walking with prostitute or into the brothel, however, i somehow believe that this can help saving people from killing themselves. They can just go, get the service and pay the money. Not to mention, selling sex toys is illegal in Cambodia while the majority of the country in the world make it legal. Also, i wonder if these people know that is something they could help themselves.Spoiler:

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
