The number of Cambodian women caught in abusive marriages in China is increasing dramatically, according to rights groups, which last year helped repatriate nearly 50 brides who had been either trafficked abroad or lured by the promise of a better life. Local rights groups Adhoc and Licadho said Thursday that they helped 49 women return to Cambodia from China in 2014, compared to 29 the year before.
