Call my cynical, but I've got a hunch that her Australian citizenry might have had a part to play in the price. Could it have been a marriage of convenience which went wrong after Shrek there actually fell in love?

I read that as she was already an Australian resident ?
At any rate....he is a fucking idiot as is any tit who pays dollar one in dowry here in Cambodia.

Isn't is a cultural thing though ? Khmer people do it themselves. (but 57k is overkill)ricecakes wrote:I read that as she was already an Australian resident ?

It's not a dowry anyway, a dowry is an amount of property or money brought by a bride to her husband on their marriage.

It's called a "Bride price" in some places in the world, parts of Africa for sure. I've heard of it lots in Asia when families were trying to extract the best buck for the bang from old foreigners looking for young brides.

bride-price is when the foreigner/husband buys the cow
Dowry is when the brides' parent pay the husband for future expenses
Two totally different things, dowry being the most sensible, imho

If you want to get the fuck out of Cambodia and can do so by marrying an Australian resident/citizen, then it doesn't seem like a bad gambit to me.ricecakes wrote:I read that as she was already an Australian resident ?
