Cambodia sets marriage age limit for foreign husbands

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12802339

Quote:
Cambodia has imposed a partial ban on foreign men marrying local women - would-be bridegrooms will now have to be less than 50 years old.
The government says it is trying to prevent exploitation - and promote true love and what it calls "honest marriages".
But there has been a mixed reaction to the ruling. The ban does not affect foreign women - or Cambodian men.
I thought this was an interesting story..I sort of see why they might query such marriages but to ban them? Can any government do that and not fall foul of some human rights organisation?
