The monarch of Cambodia is chosen by the crown council, from among descendants of the late kings Anga Duang, Naradharma or Sri Suvatta. (which actually is a redundancy, since as Anga Duang's sons, all descent from Sri Suvatta and Naradharma would be anyway descendants of Anga Duang....)
The Cambodian constitution's most translations appear to define eligibility as 'descendant', or 'dynasty member'.
I have not come across with any text which would define that as solely male.
What is the precise, authentic content of the Cambodian constitution about this: are female descendants of that dynasty eligible ? would Cambodia potentially have one day a regning queen, under this constitution ?
Does the 'prevalent' view to interpret the constitution differ in any way (such as, any constitutional grounds to limit it to males) from the possibly vague text of the authentic constitution in this regard, if the actual text of the constitution does not preclude females ?
