Royal adultery row in Cambodia

Cambodia's Princess Norodom Marie Ranariddh is seeking to prosecute her estranged husband and ousted royalist leader Prince Norodom Ranariddh for adultery, a court official has said.

Ranariddh, the son of respected former king Norodom Sihanouk, could face up to one year in prison if found guilty under new monogamy laws.

Sok Kalyan, a deputy prosecutor at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, said they were probing a complaint filed two weeks ago accusing Ranariddh, often seen in public with his mistress, of adultery.

"I am investigating the case to find evidence," Sok Kalyan said, adding that he would invite both Princess Marie and Ranariddh to court once he had completed his investigation.

The kingdom in September passed a monogamy law which punishes unfaithful spouses and bans polygamy and incest. Perpetrators face between a month and a year in prison, plus a fine of up to 250 dollars.

Prime Minister Hun Sen -- Ranariddh's arch rival -- proposed the law after publicly grumbling about government officials bringing their mistresses instead of their wives to official functions.

Ranariddh said publicly last month that he is in a long-term relationship with classical dancer Ouk Phalla. The pair have a three-year-old son.

Horray for princess Marie!!! More power to her! This is a big step for the Cambodian people! Speaking from experience, I am the very first daughter of Chandarith Puth, former governor of Kampot, and my mother was the first wife and for my father to leave us for mistress after mistress people seem to think that its ok and normal to live that life, and doesn't relize that there are bad consequences! About time Cambodia got on board with the rest of the world! Bring that muther fucker down so the rest of Cambodia will see that it is not normal to treat your family like that.

If I am Rannarith, I also hate this Marie Eng too. After sleeping with hun Sen, she tried kill her own husband for one life long. We call this "York sahay smoan moark samlap bdey". She has been tricked communist to kill her own husband. It is to be called very "Cheap woma=satrey Thokteap "

Rannarith is very stupid man. He loves girl blindly and emotionally. Unlike Hun Sen he used girls for his sexual desires. After his used, he gave aways such as Kep Chutma'wife, and Most singer stars, was a second hand from Hun Sen. If he cannot find any tender to marry his girl friends he tell his wife to shoot them out such as Piset Pilika and Touch Sun Nich.

The way I look at it.Ms. Phalla was The Prince's film star. Like he said, he took care of his women and kids. Oak Phalla was having a child with the Prince and he intended to look after this little one. He head was messed up big time. He cann't defind his own role in life or who is who? let alone run the country. That lover boy needs to get lost!

and The Hun Zen? Everyone was after him for the money and he knew who was the one that owned his head. It was certainly not those desperate and hungry women. It was Ah Vietcong he was worry about and that was all he was worry about. Smart man? Not to my IQ.

Dry wood next to fire? sure it will burn into flame. Especially with someone of free spirit like Rannarith. Caring or concerning about the consequence. What concequence? They are all beneath him.

STORY ABOUT KEO PUTH RASMEY :He came to this position with the help of his wife(princess Norodom Arunrasmy). Keo Puth Rasmey's wife princess ARUN had a plan to destroy Rannaridh so she can put her husband up. She was the one who fix OUK PHALLA with Rannaridh and break up Rannaridh and Mary' s Marriage.(MARY fell to princess ARUN trap). Keo Puth Rasmey's wife ARUN and his older sister"MO" had planned this strategy since 2004. They are Very CROOK!.

Piset Pilika & Touch Sun Nich may very well fit the catergory of Female Spy by Vietcong's eyes or Mr. Hun Zen's boss.

This catergory combined with the great jelousy of Mrs. Bun HS= time to go for those two women. Bingo! & Gone! Bye bye!
