PHNOM Penh Municipal Court has approved the divorce of Prince Norodom Ranariddh and
Princess Marie Norodom Ranariddh, and ruled that the latter is entitled to half of the former Funcinpec president’s estate, court officials said Wednesday.
Chev Keng, the court’s president, said the decision was handed down on Tuesday after the couple agreed to a reconciliation deal.
“The court decided to issue the verdict of divorce after the two parties reached an agreement to share the property,” he said.
Liv Sovanna, the lawyer for Norodom Ranariddh, declined to comment on the ruling on Wednesday, describing it as a “personal issue”.
Chea Chanboribo, the prince’s personal spokesman, declined to comment beyond saying that Norodom Ranariddh is currently travelling “back and forth” between homes in Malaysia and Phnom Penh.
Norodom Ranariddh filed for divorce from Princess Marie in 2006 after meeting and falling in love with Ouk Phalla, with whom he now has a son. Ouk Phalla, a former dancer with the Royal ballet, was at the time married to former Funcinpec minister Veng Sereyvuth.
Originally elected president of Funcinpec in 1992, Norodom Ranariddh led the party to a stunning victory in the UNTAC-sponsored elections in May 1993, at which point he became first prime minister. He was ousted as a result of factional fighting with the Cambodian People’s Party in 1997.

Looking great isn't it for going after somebody else's wife? No wonder the crown was giving to N.Sihamoni instead.
ReplyDeleteWhat's news about royal family in Cambodia or Thailand? Both are Bhuddist country. That shows how much religious one retains and respects with the exception of King Bhumibal. Talking about his son Viajajajaaa? A rat of Bhuddist and Thailand.

ReplyDeleteNo,it's the other way around.It's ouk phalla who stole Mary's husband.Don't blame Ranarith,he's a human .It's ouk phalla's ass that need to be blamed.
ReplyDeleteRanarith, in 1993, when you negociated with Hun Sen and others, why you don't limit PM position to 2 mandates per person ?

ReplyDeleteIt's not important for Ranaridh story, he never think about Cambodian he only think about kdeth
That's why his mouth look like Kdet Moin...! chip ouch! chip ouch!
ReplyDeleteHaha .. some of these Cambodian posters are fucking rude.
ReplyDeleteThis Cambodian prince is much and much better than Sia O, the ugly prince of Thailand for a million times. Sia O has thousand of women, he has aid and he is rude and killer. His new wife is a porn star.
Buddhist my azz if your guys don't believe in fate. This prince's fate is not meant to be King and why curisng his private life?
His new wife was being screwed by few, but he loves her, so let him be.
No one is perfect, King Pumipon's wife queen sirikit was secretely known by Thais of having an affair with her closest bodyguard. King Pumipon skept with his wife's sister named Bosba and has one daughter.
Queen Elizabeth was secretely known of having an affair with a high position like Lord and her son name prince Andrew was not her husband's biological son.
So why do your guys think all the royal people have to be gods?
10:49pm is F* rude. hahahaha you stipid f* as..hole born to believe a rumor
