:
: 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 ?
