Three Arrested in Connection With Arranged Marriage Of A 9 Year Old Girl To A 56 Year Old Man in Ghana

OMG
OMG

It’s a real shame that we still have to deal with cases like these despite the age we live in; but it is an accepted fact that change is often a slow process, and for some people they might never change at all.

Doesn’t make it right, it’s just the way it is. All that shows is that often us humans when we get something drilled into us, there is little that can be done to get it out, sometimes even when the belief defies all logic.

A Daily Guide report describes how a 9 year old girl’s stepfather connived with a 56 year old man in their neighbourhood to marry the girl off to him. The incident occurred in Domiento, a farming community in the Bunkpurugu Yooyo district in the North of Ghana.

More tragically, a 25 year old sister of the victim, who was pregnant, vehemently opposed the arrangement, along with other family members. Her own brother, who was in agreement with the forced marriage and is believed to have been benefitting from it, clubbed her to death for her resistance.

Police in town acted swiftly when informed of the incident, arresting the two parties who arranged the marriage, as well the callous brother who clubbed his own sister to death.

The Misconception Surrounding ‘Respect People’s Opinions’ | Not Every Opinion Ought to Be Respected…

Opinion
Opinion

Some say opinions are like noses, everyone has one—and that is a fact. However, the assumption that each and every opinion ought to be respected is not true and my many years of writing for Ghanaians has taught me that this is the sort of misconception a huge number of Ghanaians have bought into…

Being entitled to an opinion is far different from having your opinion respected. It’s only those with no sense of reason who would assert that every opinion expressed ought to be respected and I will indicate why I am saying this in the following paragraphs.

The truth is, certain opinions ought to be TRASHED—be thrown into the trash can because that is where they belong. Yet, I keep bumping into several Ghanaians arguing that; respect every opinion—irrespective of the details and no matter how absurd these opinions are…

To these Ghanaians (and you can find some of these arguments under this article), even if a person is of the opinion that women are lesser human beings who deserve to be chained or abused by men, we have to respect such an opinion.

The above stated opinion should not be tolerated, in fact, a conscious effort must be made to displace it and push the one holding on this to understand that, such opinions have no place in today’s world.

They often tell us ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’. The truth is when it comes down to it men are really no different; and a man smarting from rejection is as prone to lashing out just as much as any woman.

Mail Online tells the story of 54 year old James Wilson, churchwarden of St Bartholomew’s church in Westhoughton. A lay bishop and editor of the parish newsletter, he took advantage of his position to pen an exposé on his wife’s extracurricular activities and put it in the newsletters latest edition.

‘Heartless Story’ was the title he gave to the piece. He began by telling his parishioners what his ‘wife of 20 years’ had done.

The Attorney General has not exactly given a sterling account of herself to Ghanaians so far, but she needs to be on her best as two international disputes involving Ghana are brewing at the moment.

The most recent one involves Waterville, one of the companies at the centre of the Woyome scandal. Ordered to pay back the state Ghc25m wrongfully paid to them, Waterville Holdings is seeking the International Court of Arbitration to overturn the ruling.

The suit has been confirmed by the Attorney General’s office, and it is up to them now to build a suitable defence to uphold the ruling requiring paying back the money.

The other case, that has been brewing for a while and has officially opened today. That involves Cote d’Ivoire’s claim to some of Ghana’s offshore boundaries, and is being contested at the international Tribunal of the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).
