Prince Ranariddh, Funcinpec president, has filed a divorce from Princess Marie Norodom Ranariddh. On 13 Sept, the court had summoned the couple for a reconciliation attempt.
The news of the court summon for a reconciliation attempt has created a stir among reporters, several of whom came to the court to try to get details on this information. A source at the Phnom Penh municipal court told Rasmei Kampuchea in the afternoon of 13 Sept, that neither the prince nor his wife will show up in court as summoned. Prince Ranariddh was in Kompong Chhnang on 13 Sept.
One senior Funcinpec official said that the prince filed a divorce from Princess Marie several months ago, either in February or March. Liv Sovann, the prince’s lawyer, declined to provide any comment, he told Rasmei Kampuchea to seek information at the court, when he was contacted by phone.
The cause of the divorce procedure has not been revealed, but it could be due to the triangle affair led by Prince Ranariddh that caused frictions inside his family circle, or it could be that the couple no longer has feelings for each other.
According to a legal expert, in a divorce procedure, the court must summon the couple to reconciliation attempt once or twice first, if no reconciliation can take place, the court will then open a full court session to decide the case where the couple must be present without any representation by lawyers or third party.
According to the law, the legal expert said that sooner or later, Prince Ranariddh and Princess Marie will need to show up in court, otherwise, the court cannot decide the case.
Difficulties in the relationship between Prince Ranariddh and Prince Marie started to show up when the prince initiated his love affair with Mrs. Ouk Phalla, a former royal ballet dancer and wife of former minister Veng Sereyvuth. The relationship brought the birth of son.
Discussing recently about the law between husband and wife, Prince Ranariddh said: “I dare do it, I dare take the responsibility.” On 12 Sept, the National Assembly ratified the monogamy law which could punish up to one year of jail for all those who have extramarital affairs, or have 2 wives or husbands. Prince Ranariddh, Funcinpec MPs, and SRP MPs did not support this law saying that it will overstep on private individual rights, and that it could also affect political freedom.

I feel sorry for Princes Marie.
Ar RRid should serve one year in jail according to Adutary Law.
This bastard is useless for Khmer poeple.
This wild dog just use his power to chase the Bitch. All members of FCP Party should go to joint SRS Party or any other Parties. you just can't have leader like this SON OF A BITCH.
Now, we might see that Prince will be the first perspon who will be charged by anti-adultery law. It sounds like CPP just use new law for political purpose only in order to make FCP ashame for next coming election.
This is good time to lock up this crocodile (Narraridth).
He is a bad sample for the nation. In the Western World, not only Prime Minister or Prince - even sport personal - must be a role model.
This Crocodile contieved his wife, what about the nation?
All Khmer must put a fullstop to this guy and stop believe him...RM
Once she becoming devorced from Rannarith, she will no longer entile to be princess anymore. But I think she better married with a simple man better this clown prince.
Get the best lawyer and clean him up. I mean take him to the cleaner!, throw him in jail or do whatever you want with him and get all the money you can possibly get from being his wife for so many years. How dare he betrays you Princess Marie! and get a new man!. A pool cleaner has a lot more muscles and better looking than him. Who cares about being a princess? Hello life! and smiles!
12:35pm, I like some of your advise, but I don't agree on getting a new man while she had broken heart. She can forget him little by little. She can stay single for awhile. When she become strong can looking for new one.
To 6:26pm
I totally agree. I apology if I mean to suggest to The princess that fast. She can take all her times and as much as she likes to. What I'm saying is here the chance for A Pool Cleaner and Tuk- Tuk Driver with a heart of a gold and a Prince. Who says they can not touch the sky? and take good cares of Princess Marie. You hear?
No one has to belong to The Garden of Worms or Slugs forever. Those who disloyal, dishornest, cheating and disrespect to other people that love and cares for them truely, they should be the one that belongs to such Garden. If they cannot find their way out, Let's say " get tough! or tough luck!
Easy to say, let's give you a few nice looking naked european girls alone with you in a hotel room. Or give you 50 millions to lie to someone. Will you do it?
Well just jokking. Since during UN 1993 Rannarith betrayed his fellows politicians. He did to he father, Sam Rainsy, now to his wife. Money, power, and sex are what this guy after. Good luck Fung Tsui Pec man
Princess Marie: A woman who could have been Queen, but not.
To be continue....
