PHNOM PENH: The Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts has responded to rising concerns about inappropriate “immoral” activities taking place during traditional wedding ceremonies.

It noted that recent images and videos, which depicted women in traditional costumes dancing provocatively and even straddling the groom-to-be, were primarily sourced from Cambodians living abroad.
