In Cambodia’s remote Ratanakiri province, the Kreung ethnic minority has long practiced a unique tradition known as “love huts.” When daughters reach their teenage years, parents build small bamboo huts separate from the family home. These huts allow young women to meet and spend nights with potential suitors—sometimes engaging in sexual relationships—before deciding on a life partner. The practice is rooted in the community’s belief in female agency, with girls free to invite the men they choose, and suitors expected to treat them with respect. Unlike in many cultures, premarital sex is not stigmatized, and marriages formed through this system often result in long-term stability.
However, modernization is slowly changing this centuries-old custom. As families build sturdier homes from timber or brick, daughters are increasingly allowed to meet partners in their own rooms rather than separate huts. Growing exposure to mainstream Cambodian culture, smartphones, and urban lifestyles has also reduced the tradition’s prevalence. Concerns over unintended pregnancies, rivalry between suitors, and occasional cases of abuse have further convinced some parents to abandon the practice entirely.
Today, “love huts” survive in only a handful of villages, more as a cultural symbol than a common reality. For the Kreung people, they remain a reminder of a time when young women were given rare freedom to explore relationships on their own terms—a freedom that is now slowly fading in the face of modern pressures.
