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歲以上的外籍男子與本國(guó)女子結(jié)婚，以防止假結(jié)婚和販賣人口等問題。

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歲以下的外籍男子若想迎娶柬埔寨女子，還需提供收入證明，月收入不得低于1539英鎊。

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.
柬埔寨政府推出此項(xiàng)禁令是擔(dān)心不少柬埔寨女子嫁出去之后會(huì)被外國(guó)丈夫賣到妓院或者“當(dāng)奴隸使喚”。不過，也有人表示此項(xiàng)禁令有歧視女性之嫌，稱政府只禁止女性與50歲以上外籍男子結(jié)婚，對(duì)男性卻沒有任何限制。
