12-year-old Girl Married Off To A High Priest, 63, In Ghana by withSajweb: 12:29pm On Apr 05 |
A 12-year-old girl was married to a 63-year-old high priest in Ghana. Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII, a spiritual leader in the Nungua area of the capital, Accra, wed the unidentified child in a huge ceremony on Saturday March 30, 2024. However, the girl has been placed under police protection in Ghana, according to a report from the New York Times. Although the girl has been placed under protective custody, no news about the arrest of the priest and the participants of the wedding ceremony. Leaders of the Nungua indigenous community, to which the priest and the girl belong, said the public outrage that followed the event “comes from a point of ignorance.” The girl’s role in the marriage is “purely tradition and custom,” says the local leader of the community, Nii Bortey Kofi Frankwa II. The legal age to get married in Ghana is 18, and local laws do not allow child marriages under the guise of culture or custom. However, according to the Girls Not Brides NGO, 19% of girls in Ghana are married before the age of 18 and 5% are married off before their 15th birthday.

a girl's legal age for marriage is 18 ? ok , let me ask do the girls under 18 fornicate or not ? if they don't fornicate or romance then that's no problem but if yes , any one impose this law is a sinner and must be tortured in the after life. periodt . |
