DIVORCE, CAMBODIAN STYLE
A couple in Cambodia has given new, and quite literal meaning to the concept of dividing up marital property, according to today’s on-line BBC NEWS . After 40 years of marriage, an argument prompted the couple to take their splitting up into their own hands, in order to avoid the high costs and lengthy waits involved in court sanctioned divorces. They split their home in half–literally. Half of the house remains on the original site, about 56 miles from Phnom Penh. The former husband has moved his half of the house off of the lot, to an undisclosed location. According to a local attorney, the splitting of the property does not constitue a legal divorce.
