Cambodian social media is buzzing over a woman with two husbands. Hun Sen criticizes breaking the tradition of one husband, one wife, and questions if it's true.
On 23 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Hun Sen, Chairman of the Cambodian Senate and former Prime Minister, posted on his personal Facebook a photo of a woman with two men. He wrote: "Today I want to share a personal feeling, unrelated to state affairs. All I will say concerns a woman married to two husbands at the same time—living together, going out together, eating together, working together."
But I am not sure if they share the same bed.
Exactly. All these photos are fine and widely shared on social media. Is this woman really married to two husbands, or is it a performance to attract viewers?
If she truly is married to two husbands and lives with them alternately, she is an extraordinary woman breaking the strongest traditions of modern Khmer women.
Men having two wives, or secretly having other women, fear their wives' anger, fear the law, fear wives finding out. The constitution states monogamy (one husband, one wife).
Please, brothers and sisters, help reveal the truth about this, if possible.
After the post, over 17,000 people liked it and more than a thousand commented. Some comments included: "You are right; a woman cannot marry two husbands at the same time. It is against customs and a grave sin. If a woman married two husbands, she is very ugly and wrong. Only men can marry other women, and must get permission from the first wife. Without her consent, it is impossible."
