Five young Cambodian women hoping to find South Korean husbands were questioned by police after being picked up at a Korean restaurant in Phnom Penh's Dangkao district Monday, police said.
The women, aged 18 to 22, told police they left their homes in Kompong Cham province and traveled voluntarily to the city because they wanted to marry rich South Koreans, Dangkao district deputy police chief Chuop Sok Heng said.
Initially suspicious that the women may have been involved with human traffickers, officers questioned the women for over an hour, Chuop Sok Heng said.
One of the women explained that she had a cousin who married a South Korean and had become wealthy, he said, and the five had come to Phnom Penh to 'introduce themselves to Korean men."
"They want to marry South Korean men and live there because they want to be rich," he added.
Ny Ly Heng, an investigator for the human rights organization Adhoc, said he would investigate the South Korean marriage fad, but added that it was not traditional for a Cambodian woman to pick her mate.
"If a man wants to marry a woman in Cambodia, he must go to the woman's home to talk about the marriage," he said.
Keo Thea, deputy police chief of anti-human trafficking and juvenile protection in Phnom Penh, said the women were released after cautioning them to pick their husbands carefully.
"If they want to marry someone, they must know his background," he said. "Please, women, give it clear consideration before deciding to marry foreigners."

This is just to show that the fabric of khmer society has been torn to shred by the war and the Sihanouk/Hun Sen regime. khmers, men and women alike confuse and loose national and cultural value. Sihanouk/Hun Sen have served their masters, the chinese and vietnamese, very well. They achieved their goal, eradicate Khmer values.
This is so sad for all these dirt poor Cambodian women! These Cambodian women have arms and legs and yet not willing to make a decent living under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government system! I sometime I have to wonder does AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave government create opportunities for Cambodian people to earn a decent living!
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave the CEO of Cambodia welcome the world for business!!!!ahahahahah!
Actually, Cambodian don't even have a fucken choice or opportunity to do anything under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave society!
So Cambodian women kept chasing a rich guy to take of them but what these poor Cambodian women didn't know that they could end up as sex slave for the brothel in South Korea!!
AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave increasingly is looking at Cambodian people as commodity that can be used or exchanged for goods and services!!!
