A 26-year-old-man from Svay Rolum village, S'ang district, Kampong Chhnang province, became the first to be detained under Cambodia's monogamy law at the weekend, police said. Chan Chamreoun, 26, was detained Sunday after he left his wife, Thi Chanthy, 25, and secretly married another woman, Sun Chantha, 26, from Por commune, Kampong Chhnang province. Thi Chanthy demanded US$3,000 from her husband, who said he could only pay US$200. The pair could not reach an agreement, so Chan Chamreoun was detained by a Kampong Chhnang court.
