PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A couple in rural Cambodia has terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that entailed sawing in two the wooden house they once shared, villagers said Friday. The husband, 42-year-old Moeun Sarim, has taken away with him all the bits and pieces of his half a house, said his 35-year-old wife, Vat Navy.

"Very strange, but this is what my husband wanted," she said by phone from a village about 62 miles east of Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh. She said they ended their marriage last month.

"He brought his relatives and used saws to cut the house in half," she said, adding that she now owns the other half that is still standing. The house is made from wood with a tile roof and propped up on wooden pillars, a typical style for a Cambodian country home.

She said her estranged husband and his relatives, after ripping apart half of the house, carried all the debris to his parents' house nearby.

She said the divorce was prompted by her husband's jealousy about her alleged relationship with a policeman in the village. She denied having an extramarital affair.

"He wanted a divorce, and I said, `Let's divorce,'" she said.

The husband could not be reached for comment.

Bou Bout, a village chief, said local officials and police were present as witnesses the day the couple split their 20-by-24 1/2 foot house into half.

"Local officials tried three times to get them to mend their differences, but the husband would not budge," Bou Bout said by phone.

This story was adapted from news.yahoo.com.

After reading this story, two questions came into my mind:

Does marriage still have the same meaning as it had back in 1960s? It seems like people want to still feel free to everything they used to do before marriage.

What do you guys think about the attitude of the husband?

Comments are welcome.

Not bad. In my opinion divorce is good choice for both sides. No matter who is right or wrong, there is a fact that they both didn’t find suitable person to marry. The result is the price for their unserious marriage. If not, I guess there will be more severe price that they will pay in the future.

From my mind, the husband is a selfish,unconfident and none-responsibility man! If you love your wife, you must belieive her. For an unprove affair, you will abandon your wife ?? The woman deeply love you, and like a kitchenmaid for 18 years (No mention was made of their children). Even used a saw!! Poor Miss Vat Navy did a wrong choice when she was a 17 yrs-o girl.

nowadays the problem is that love is not of great importance when people decide to get married. many people care about about material things, i mean, what will get when if I marry this girl or guy? I still think love is important too.

I agree with allen on some points. Letting your husband or wife know how much you care about the relationship is very important. But sometimes, girls are afraid to say to their men that they love them. Husbands and wives, you need to learn what each other likes most, and do it if possible.

Never marry someone if u feel that u wont forgive her/him for any mistake she/he can make. This forgiveness is what we call "LOVE"

"He wanted a divorce, and I said, `Let's divorce,'" she said. It may hurts the man. I think at that time the wife should talk to his husband and let him know that she loves him forever no matter what happened. But the wife seems didn't care about what the man's thinking.
