Dating in Cambodia

No such thing, or at least there's not really a dating culture. Our tour guide tells us that children marry when their parents feel that they're ready to marry and they decide who they should marry. Children must listen to parents and obey their decision; otherwise, children will be thrown out of the house which is a very shameful thing. The average marrying age in rural areas is 17-22. For city residents, it's usually the late 20s. Kids are encouraged to marry young because they believe in marrying first and then building a life as opposed in most cultures, you build a life first then you have a family.
In the typical household, the husband drops off the wife at work (usually selling merchandise of some sort), then he's off to get coffee with his guy friends to discuss world politics and such.
Women in Cambodia can also marry monks, and it is considered a prestigious match. But monks can elect to leave his family any time to go back to the temple. At this time, it is not considered a divorce. Women are still considered married and can never remarry, even though they may never see their monk husband ever again.

Makes me feel lucky to have the freedom to date, even if I don't make good choices.
