I visited Phnom Penh for the first time in November 2013 to do some research on the legality of the Government's decision in March 2011 to ban foreign men over 50 from marrying Cambodian women. I was there for a week and couldn't speak Khymer. I was unemployed and 52 at the time and was told by the British Embassy that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are very strict on enforcing the age limit. However, 6 months after my return to the UK, I received a Cambodian Marriage Certificate with my name on it. Attached to this was a demand to pay the bride's family 700 USD or else they would inform the Cambodian Police that I was already married in the UK. I have no memory of the wedding in Cambodia and can't return for fear of being arrested. I ignored the demand believing it to be a hoax. I guess the moral of the story is don't believe everything the British Embassy says.
