Ghana’s Chief Statistician Calls For Increase In Marriage Age by Nobody: 7:53am On Jul 20, 2013 |
The Ghana Government Statistician, Dr Philomena Nyarko, has suggested that the legal marriage age should be increased from 18 to 23 years, to ensure that young women become physically, socially and psychologically prepared, before child bearing.http://www.ghanabusinessnews.com/2013/07/17/ghanas-chief-statistician-calls-for-increase-in-marriage-age/ |

Unlike Nigeria, Ghana is a country where the rest aren't prepared to keep quiet or bend over backwards to satisfy the whims and perverted lustful desires of a component part. And some people are even trying to argue for, or justify the marrying off of a 13 year old kid to a randy old He-Goat! Lord help us!! |

Ibanga p: They are doing this on the wake of our Controversial under-age marraige declaration jus to spite us and appear better in the eyes of the international communities. Not that they do anytin better than us. Am not saying wat our law makers did is right though. Let us learn to get over ourselves. Everything is not about us. This is a Ghanaian statistician suggesting what she thinks is best for her Country and I think this is clear enough. Population growth that cannot be effectively catered for is irresponsible and to be discouraged even as I personally do not agree with raising the marriage age from 18 to 23. She indicated that this would not only prepare them for marriage, but also slow population growth by 15 to 20 per cent, in the country. |
