Marrying a cook sounds like a sweet deal, unless he turns out to be a gambling addict too.

A young wife filed a police complaint against her chef husband on Wednesday, claiming the Phnom Penh man’s obsession with gambling was affecting his family.

The gambler-turned-thief allegedly stole a necklace and motorbike from his own son in order to fund his bad habits.

Police made the bet-maker sign a contract promising to change his ways, but his jaded wife has low expectations.
