Hmmmm. These court marriages are of no use. Very uselss. Marriage is ordained by the Fathers of both Male.and Female (man and wife). Not by any pastor, Bishop Apostle or Court.

Most women see marriage as an avenue to make money. Not to support the man raise a family. They don't even consider how the divorce will affect the children psychologically. Money, money money and money

DIVORCE CONTRACTORS!! Thank you so much JUSTICE DORGU. This ruling will surely Discourage Dubious Divorce Cases in Ghana. Criminal Women searching for Money through dubious Divorce Cases in court. Look at even her Lawyer!!

Thank you judge Dorgu, thank you RNAQ for making the brotherhood proud. Another soul brother saved. All men must enrol in Hakimi's School of Excellence and Enlightenment for Men. Men are in love; women are in business. In time past only women advised their daughters. Now men are also advising their sons. We're becoming wiser. Marriage is indeed not an investment plan. The days of men being used as ATMs and women's empowerment funds and poverty alleviation funds and walking wallets and cash cows are gradually grinding to a halt. BRAVO JUDGE DORGU.

If the woman is given an equal share of the property, women in Ghana should wave goodbye to marriage just like it is happening in the Western world.

The latest statistic in the US is that divorce rates have reduced and the media wanted to paint that narrative because of their own gain and to serve those who created the adverse situation - the gender preachers.

What pertained was that men were just not marrying which would have resulted in divorce anyway and that was causing the overall reduction in the numbers divorcing.

The reasons why men are shying away from marriage is how the courts treated men during marriage. The courts automatically looked after the welfare of the woman to the extent that these courts even shared the mans property to the step children who were adults. This is generalisation but such things formed the basis under which the family courts operated. Always finding a way to please the woman in divorce.

In Europe, there have been case where the woman took half of the mans property including part of his farm he inherited, abandoned their children and moved to Australia where she went into a relationship with w younger guy and blew all the money till she became a pauper.

She moved back to the UK and took the man to court that her lifestyle has dropped so she wanted part of the remaining assets awarded to the man on the provisions of equity.

The court agreed with her by giving her part of the assets the man was still building upon.

These are most of the reasons why young men in the Western world are not marrying. Its a headache.

We import this to Ghana, consider marriage finished.

It is good that these stories are coming out. In the Western world, the media is fighting hard to suppress them but the internet is playing a good role in bringing it into the public domain.

Not all marriages are useless. Besides, no one can write divorce out of human existence and family law. It is everyone’s right to decide when he/she feels it’s no more appropriate to continue staying in a relationship. The judge is completely wrong and his ruling is not Law. WHY THE PHRASE “TO DISCOURAGE DIVORCE”. Judging from the show of affluence by Richard Quaye the award and the reasoning behind it is shameful. The man and his family should have settled this amicably and equitably. WHAT A LOUD SHAME. APPEAL IS THE BEST WAY FORWARD.

This crybaby seems to have forgotten that the SC recently ruled that mere marriage does not mean equal sharing of property. there has to be a substantive contribution to the acquisition of that property.

Even with your girlfriend, sign a contract stating she wants and will get nothing from you.

Were the properties acquired by them with her contributions?. Marriage does not automatically means you own half. She MUST proof her contributions first.

Legally and otherwise by common sense the one who files for the divorce is the one who suppose to settle the spouse who did not first file for a divorce. I want to know why the woman who filed for divorce instead of giving a share of what she acquired during the life of the marriage to her husband but rather the husband has to pay her for personal decision to leave the marriage? Simple example for clarity sake if you landlord ask you to vacate his room then he will refund the remainder of the rent and compensate you by giving you more time and cash for inconvenience. Technically the wife is supposed to rather pay her husband for leaving the marriage in the United kingdom Adele The Popstar musician had to pay her husband for filing for a divorce and her property she acquired was shared for the husband as compensation for leaving the marriage so in this case I think the appeals court should use the The Popstar Adele case as somewhat bases to order her to pay compensation to her husband when this is done in Ghana no woman will be willing to file for divorce again because there are naturally greedy they care about love and you're heart in fact now they say they don't do love and dating anymore so what do they do then? Over to you appeal court judges. I leave you with peace.

Gonja mafia John Mahama is the first for the bad reasons :
1. Investigated by his boss for stealing - Airbus Sandal
2. His brother always buys private jet anytime he wins elections
3. Hand Ghana's mineral deposits to his brother
4. Repair cost of a constructed road is more than the cost of constructing the road itself
5. His family members use govt machinery to execute thir private contracts
6. Allocating a govt building to himself as his retirement package
7. Engaging in ethnocentric and hate speech - do you remember Akyem Mafia?
8. Lying for power
9. Doing everything possible to imprison potential competitors to his family members - think about Wontumi
10. Share bed with openly confessed trumutrumu man. I don't know what they did behind closed doors.
11. Gonja mafia is using his brother to steal from poor Ghanaians.

You can add to the list.

Anytime ndc people say or post anything, remember that your monies are being wasted to misinform you.

This is in the right direction. The chorkor rascal bribed dishonorable Dorgo to cheat the woman. Joan dropped out of university to help the rascal finish university and therefore deserves much more. It's a fact that if a Ga man becomes a Prof or Rev. some level of rascality is still there. This ruffian should be sent to the supreme court if we're not satisfied with the appeal court. My only problem is that Joana is using an incompetent lawyer like Odammey or Dummy.
