  I know the law has not said marriage is between a man and a tree or a man and a man, a woman and another woman.

  You didn't say anything as a lawyer. What does the say what marriage is?
  Where did you read your law.
  Law is written in English and contains common sense

  Please don't twist the legality of marriage about the constitution. Go back to our formal costum of marriage. Stop your stupid English of your interpretation of marriage to us.

  Marriage under the ordinance is the civil union available to any Ghanaian to take advantage of, and despite some confusion, it is entirely secular and not religious (Christian) at all.
  
  This is governed by Marriages Act (Cap 127) and is the only, strictly monogamous legal means of marriage in Ghana

  We humans just like to practice hypocrisy. God never ordained any marriage. Marriages are legitimatized by governments, religions or cultural practices. This issue about misusing God's name to cement human hypocrisy can also be found in the in religious marriages, where a couple is deemed to have made vows to God, even though the persons who composed those vows are humans and not God. Reminds of me insurance companies not paying for damages caused by natural disasters, claiming they're acts of God. And no single human can prove that God causes tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and sunames. So why not just refuse to pay based on a clause that stipulates natural disaster instead of a claim of "act of God"? When humans finally decide to put aside their hypocritical dependence on religious verbiage in instruments, the will be a clearer path for people to follow.
