The 20 female MPs were absolutely right, and we should celebrate them as heroines rather than cast them as stumbling blocks who blocked the passage of the bill.

Was it difficult to amend to read that women legally or customarily married to their spouses shall inherit their properties when deceased unless the deceased spouse left a will instructing otherwise. In the same bill men should also inherit their wives properties if the wife passes on.

Correct. Is it a situation where the mps themselves are having side chick's and they are afraid to loose them if the law is passed.

Spot on! How difficult was it to amend the bill ? And yeah I concur in your submission, men ought to inherit the properties of their dearly departed wives as well

I strongly support the women point. Why should you have a share when your situation does not qualifies you as a wife. Get married morenor loose everything.

True the rate of mariticide will shoot up if the woman suspects that her chances of inheriting the the property of the husband will be contested in future.

He is not even ashamed that they wanted to enact such a stupid law. How does a side-chick get rewarded for her immorality? Their children can inherit their father but not the side-chick herself.

The AG was trying to protect women whose boyfriends keep them for over 5 yrs and refuse to go and perform the marital rights and finally drops them without anything

If you're interested in spousal rights, why don't you refer to people who are legally married?

The real truth is that the women are afraid that it legalized men also inheriting the wives properties.

That is the reason why they rejected it, not because of side chic.

Remember what is happening in us where some women may just marry rich men and file for divorce later and do away with their properties.

Yet, case law in Ghana recognizes informal customary law marriage otherwise known as marriage by cohabitation. See. QUAYE V.KUEVI(1934)D. Ct[31-37]69, YAOTEY V. QUAYE (1962)GLR, ESSILFIE AND ANOR V.QUARCOO(1992)2GLR 180, IN R ...

Yet, case law in Ghana recognizes informal customary law marriage otherwise known as marriage by cohabitation. See. QUAYE V.KUEVI(1934)D. Ct[31-37]69, YAOTEY V. QUAYE (1962)GLR, ESSILFIE AND ANOR V.QUARCOO(1992)2GLR 180, IN Re. Dickson alias Appiah; ABOAGYE AND ANOR V. QUAYSON AND ANOR (1989-90)1GLR 147, SARBAH, J.M. in his book" FANTI CUSTOMARY LAWS(3RD EDITION) at page 41etc.Therefore,with or without legislation, marriage by cohabitation is recognized by Ghanaian courts as a valid form of customary law marriage entitling a spouse to the estate of his/her deceased spouse like in any statutory provided marriage. In almost all the above cases, the consent of the respective families or the performance of marriage rites is a mere ratification of the marriage agreement and held as desirous but not a condition precedent to the creation of a valid customary law marriage. So i don't really see what the A-G is worried about.

Is a side chick a spouse? How many types of marriages are legally accepted by the same constitution? Isn't it Customary, Islamic and Christian marriage? Do we have a side chick marriage or a co-habitation marriage? Why do you want to encourage wayward behaviors as marriage? Sides chicks are always paid off by those who take them, some side chicks even enjoy better than the wives, children born outside marriage are still the responsibility of their rightful fathers. Spouses should divide properties they contributed to the marriage upon breakup not the one already acquired by the other. Upon death of the other 50% should go to the surviving spouse and kids whilst remaining 50% should go to the deceased family. We shouldn't entertain side chicks.
