If the men faces charges for lack of child support, then women must also face charges for paternity fraud which will eventually reduce cheating and dishonesty that make most men die to early from family worries

IGNORANCE OF PATERNITY AND THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE. WOMEN ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE LACK OF LEGISLATION ON THIS MATTER. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN A MAN FINDING OUT THAT 3 FULLY GROWN CHILDREN ARE NOT HIS?

It is about time. While this may not fully address the issue of rampant promiscuity in Ghana, it is certainly a step in the right direction. However, this issue is a double-edged sword. We should also criminalize men who father children irresponsibly and leave their care entirely to the women. Although laws already exist to address this, the penalties should be significantly stiffer than what is currently allowed.

You have to first define what constitute paternity fraud. There can't be a valid case of paternity fraud if the relationship that led to the fraud was itself fraudulent. A man who goes about sleeping with random women engages in fraud and should be ready to accept random pregnancies (paternity fraud). There's a risk in every game! Thats why you should wait until marriage. It only makes sense when the couple are legally married.

I think it is impossible for Some of the women to know who impregnate them because of multiple partners these days.
So mandatory paternity (DNA) test is the answer.

Sheer sensationalism! A woman who’s promiscuous may not truly know the owner (seed provider) of her baby. At worst, an enacted law could order such woman to pay for 80% of the DNA test; subject to her financial situation. She could pay by instalment. A plus should use his head, but not his emotions - a woman in such situation would be saddled with looking after the fatherless baby, so who’ll take care of the child if she’s jailed? Aba!

My brother had a daughter with his then girlfriend and has been taken full responsibility of the pregnancy ever since. He worked so hard to raise the child to become a very beautiful and intelligent young woman in her 20s
All of a sudden the mother said the girl isn’t my brother’s daughter so she has sent her to live with her biological father who is in Italy. My brother has nothing left because he spent all his money on somebody’s child who he thought was his. I don’t understand why such woman should walk freely and shamelessly bragging about it.

Paternity is fundamentally about who inherits your property. If your culture permits matrilineal inheritance then who the biological father of a child is non and void. Next for survival, a smart woman points to the man who is well of and can take care of her child. Choosing the biological father who cannot support you is foolish. If a woman knows 2 men within 24- 72 hours, she honestly is unable to tell who the biological father is. Finally court cases in the US
