1 Cambodia. Why did PuZhai girl marry Zhongyuan 1?

1: High economic level 2: Close to them.

No one knows how many foreign-related marriages there are in Cambodia.

The so-called foreign-related marriage between Cambodian women and foreigners is a common phenomenon in Cambodia. People not only don't feel any novelty and surprise about it, but look at it with envy. The nationality of foreigners that Puzhai women choose to marry varies according to their own conditions. Generally speaking, women in cities such as Phnom Penh choose the United States, Canada, Australia and some European countries because of their family situation and education level. In recent years, they also like Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and other countries and regions. In contrast, those rural women are not so picky.

As for the number of married brides, no one can say clearly, because many people have no idea of going through the formalities. Huang Gantapawe, Cambodian Minister of Women, said that people didn't know that marriage needed to be registered with a marriage certificate. She said that people in Phnom Penh still understand the importance of marriage certificates, and they will apply in advance or reissue them afterwards, while rural people think that putting up a notice in front of their house is a marriage certificate. Two years ago, a non-governmental organization named "Women in Crisis Rescue Organization" made statistics on 549 families who came to the organization for help because of disputes, and found that 83% of the families did not register for marriage. Because there is no marriage certificate, once there is a dispute, the parties will not get the protection they deserve in court.

The purpose of marrying a foreigner is to immigrate, so it naturally needs legal proof, which may count. However, a considerable number of people are still married and stay in Cambodia, especially the employees of foreign companies investing in Cambodia who work and live in Cambodia. Mr. Yang, a native of northeast China, married a Cambodian wife without a hukou. After giving birth to two children, he decided to settle in Cambodia. He himself holds a China passport.

Cross-border marriage is one of the purposes that Cambodian women seek to change their lives.

Because Cambodia is highly open to the outside world, foreigners are free and convenient to invest and do business in Cambodia. At the same time, the government encourages the provision of labor services, which increases the opportunities for Cambodian young people to work abroad, thus providing great convenience for people to contact people from other countries and creating conditions for them to marry foreigners. In addition, most Cambodian women regard marrying foreigners as an important way to change poverty, which further promotes the increase of foreign-related marriages. Commenting on this issue, Bajie Wang De, deputy mayor of Phnom Penh, said that during the peak period, there were about 65,438+050 to 200 women in Phnom Penh every month, while there were thousands in rural areas. He said, "If these women are lucky, they can marry good people." It can be seen that Cambodian women who marry foreigners have embarked on this road of transnational marriage with a gambling mentality.

Cambodian women get married relatively early, and most of them get married around the age of 20. If you are over 25 years old and don't get married, you are considered an old girl and suspected. Women who are nearly 30 years old no longer set restrictions on marriage conditions, so they are more blind. Ruai, State Secretary of Cambodian Women's Department, pointed out that rural girls only want to find a happy life abroad because of poverty and little education, and they are desperate to get married.

The involvement of human trafficking criminal gangs has changed the taste of transnational marriage.

Because Cambodian women have a look-up attitude and are eager to change poverty, these foreign-related marriages are often used by criminal gangs that abduct people. It is often heard that foreign brides are turned into slave workers or trafficked. For example, not long ago, the media in Taiwan Province Province revealed that a father and daughter surnamed Guan lured dozens of Cambodian women to Taiwan Province Province in the form of "fake marriage" from 2005 to the spring of 2008, and then sold them to their employers for hard labor, making illegal profits of tens of millions of Taiwan dollars (more than 300,000 US dollars). It was not until the police rescued it that it was able to escape from the sea. As for Cambodian brides married to South Korea, many people were abused and tortured by their in-laws, and even the Cambodian government came forward to rescue them and blocked the channels of intermarriage by administrative means, which became major international news.

This phenomenon will be difficult to change for a long time.

Cambodia's economic level is still in a relatively backward stage. It can be predicted that the problem of intermarriage between Cambodians and foreigners will still exist for a long time to come. Ms. Yingchun, who works in a non-governmental organization aided by Christian organizations in the United States and pays attention to foreign-related marriages in Cambodia, believes that the emergence and existence of transnational marriages is inevitable in the process of world economic integration. Women in China and South Korea with higher economic development naturally tend to marry developed countries such as the United States and Europe, while women in less developed countries such as Cambodia, Viet Nam and Laos choose countries and regions that are easy to communicate with, such as China, South Korea and Taiwan Province Province. It seems to be a three-step progressive model. Her evaluation of this kind of transnational marriage is positive, and she thinks that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, which can promote international cultural exchanges and enhance the feelings between countries, and to some extent, it is also a kind of poverty alleviation. The problem occurred because no good management method was found. Simple blocking method could not solve the problem, but made it more complicated.
