This is a very worrying situation. How on Earth do we sit back and allow this to happen when we have Laws against these practices.? What are the remote causes for these practices? Do we really have governments of any serious concerns about this? We as Ghanaians are part of the most useless group of humans on Earth. We lack the moral courage to speak out the truth to act appropriately when in charge or holding public positions , very lazy to act.

The Current Head of Statistics is Ayigbe so they intentionally don’t mention what we know as a common practice in Eweland.

THIS ROT HAPPENS ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH AND VOLTA REGIONS. SAM IDIOT THE GEORGE SHOULD RATHER FOCUS ON SUCH ISSUES NOT ON PEOPLES RIGHT TO SEXUALITY.

There is nothing wrong with marrying girls off at that age,if they consent to it. It's our tradition and culture. Fuckiig someone's anus is not African, and a taboo. You people should stop talking nonsense.

For you a consent is enough to pave way to a 12 year old girl, do you have a daughter. 70 year Oldman with 3 wives and 40 children still trying to marry a 13 year old girl, you see it as a consent and part of our tradition and culture, wise up massa.

......
We have District courts across the country, why are these perpetrators marrying children not being prosecuted....?
......
We are here making unnecessary noise about LGBTQ, when more serious problems are there to be dealt with as a nation...

If the given figure is right then, I think there is something going wrong and that can only be the high rate of poverty and lake of sex education. This is ridiculous and it brakes ones heart.

This in my view is more important to address than the lgbtq noise. Homosexuals n lesbianism has been around long before some of us were born but we giving it too much prominence is rather elevating the practice. At least these girls must be allowed to grow to around 20yrs even if it's becomes necessary so they mature a little more

This report is misleading! When the legal age of consent for sex is 16 and we are all shouting this from the roofs, what will be the result?
Which parent will want to continue keeping/feeding a girl who attained 16 & 17 for that matter, went to have sex that resulted in a pregnancy? These girls will definitely go to live with their partners; then these international organisations will bring small donations then force you to call this child marriage!
What is the total population of Ghana as captured by 2021 census? You are holding onto it for political reasons and churning out useless ones to merit more aid from your colonial masters!
Shame on this opportunistic and dishonest govt of akuffo addo and bawumia.
