Cambodia has banned foreign men over the age of 50 marrying local women in an effort to combat sham marriages and human trafficking.
柬埔寨政府近日宣布，禁止50岁以上的外籍男子与本国女子结婚，以防止假结婚和贩卖人口等问题。

Even those overseas men lucky enough to be under the threshold will have to show they earn more than ￡1,539 a month – many times the average Cambodian wage – before they can tie the knot with a Khmer woman.
另外，50岁以下的外籍男子若想迎娶柬埔寨女子，还需提供收入证明，月收入不得低于1539英镑。

The new crackdown, which came into force at the beginning of the month, seeks to prevent trafficking of women and sham marriages.The ruling has provoked a mixed reaction as it does not affect Cambodian men or foreign women. Some even say it is discriminatory against Cambodian women, despite the effort to protect them from exploitation.
柬埔寨政府推出此项禁令是担心不少柬埔寨女子嫁出去之后会被外国丈夫卖到妓院或者“当奴隶使唤”。不过，也有人表示此项禁令有歧视女性之嫌，称政府只禁止女性与50岁以上外籍男子结婚，对男性却没有任何限制。
