Divorced Couple Sawed House in Two

When this couple in Vietnam Cambodia decided to get a divorce, they figured out that the most equitable way is to divide everything they own – including their house – in half. Literaly!

A married couple in Cambodia who had "finally had enough" of each other have gone their separate ways by literally cutting their home in half. The wife will stay put with the upright half while her husband has carried away his half to start again on the other side of the village.

    Ha! Had a good laugh at this one. This divorcing couple actually did something that they both agreed on.

    Still... Better than to cut his wife in 2 ...

    my first thought is that I have a picture that looks just like this..but not cut in half.....hmmmm...

    But, the important comment is that the title of the post needs to be fixed....Cambodia, NOT Vietnam.

    Hey this is good stuff! Where did you find this? I can't believe someone would actually go to those extremes when getting divorced. Not something you see everyday!

    reminds me of that one tale with Solomon and the child.
