Islamic marriage
The Islamic marriage is another legal route to marriage recognised under the laws of Ghana. Muslims constitute a significant minority of Ghanaians and therefore their marriage practices are also recognised under the law.
An Islamic marriage must be registered under the Marriages Act to be binding. According to the Marriage of Mohammedans (Amendment) Ordinance, 1935 (No. 30 of 1935), the process involves notifying the Registrar of Mohammedan marriages and divorces a week before the marriage is held.
An Islamic marriage is also legally allowed to be polyandrous – a man can marry multiple wives – although most Muslims do not go higher than four or five.
