Village chiefs1544 or “Angkar”1545 arranged the marriage of workers1546 or of cadres such as [REDACTED] in 1976.1547 Witnesses report that they were married in a ceremony with many other couples1548 and one former village chief states “I arranged marriages for them. Sometimes 30 to 40 couples at the same time”.1549 Most witnesses report that people were not free to marry whom they wanted and that people did not dare to reject the arranged marriage and protest for fear of being sent for refashioning.1550 Although one former cadre explains that "if one of the two sides did not agree, a marriage would not be arranged, and they would leave the two persons aside” she adds “some couples did not get along after the marriage but both the man and the girl dared not complain”.1551 362.

As Zone Secretary, Ke Pork was delegated the authority to make decisions with regard to executions in his Zone, and seems to have exercised such authority arbitrarily,1563 at least as regards ordinary people, since it appears that he had to consult with higher Party authorities for the purges and killings of Party members and other cadre.1564 Two witnesses report that measures were taken against people who had committed “moral offences” (although they were not necessarily killed).1565 Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia, National Road 4, Choam Chao, Dangkao Phnom Penh Mailing address: P.O.
