These “Bride and Groom huts” — often incorrectly referred to as “love huts”— gave teenagers a chance to live independently and experiment with premarital sex without judgment or social stigma. Now, as a result of mobile technology, there is no need for young people to stay overnight in personal huts, as they may have done in previous generations. Cell phones are making it faster and simpler to communicate with potential love interests, which is changing the dynamics of dating. Filmmaker Charlotte Pert shares one young couple’s story in this fascinating short about the evolution of courtship in Cambodia.
