Confusion as married man demands GH¢140,000 from wife after DNA test

A married man identified as Aikins, a resident of Abrepo Junction in the Ashanti Region, is demanding GH¢140,000 in compensation from his legally wedded wife, Vivian Bonsu, who hails from Manso, after a DNA test reportedly revealed that their two-year-old son is not his biological child.

According to Aikins, he married Vivian after she became pregnant, a situation that led to him being sanctioned by his church, the Church of Pentecost, for engaging in premarital sex.

Speaking on Oyerepa Afutuo, a television programme aired on Oyerepa TV on October 21, 2026, Aikins disclosed that his marriage had been troubled by persistent misunderstandings and allegations of infidelity.

He alleged that despite their marriage, his wife continued communicating with her former boyfriend, a development that raised suspicions and created tension between them.

Aikins further claimed that their marital problems worsened after his mother-in-law allegedly advised Vivian to avoid becoming pregnant again for him.

According to him, his wife's mother instructed her daughter to protect herself against another pregnancy, a situation he claimed negatively affected their intimacy.

He alleged that following the advice, Vivian began denying him sexual intimacy, leading to frequent disagreements and further deterioration of their relationship.

The situation reportedly escalated when Vivian sought assistance from her uncle following one of their marital disputes.

Aikins claimed that his wife and her family subsequently accused him of physically assaulting her and failing to provide adequate financial support for their child.

He said the allegations resulted in his being reported to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service, where he was allegedly made to pay a fine.

Frustrated by the accusations and the continuous disagreements, Aikins said he demanded a DNA test to establish whether he was the biological father of the child.

According to him, the test, which he said was conducted through the involvement of the police, confirmed that the two-year-old boy was not his biological son.

The revelation reportedly left him devastated, considering the financial and emotional commitments he had made throughout the marriage.

Aikins explained that he had spent “approximately GH¢85,000 on their wedding ceremony and had also provided financial support for the child's upbringing, believing he was the biological father.”

He is therefore demanding a total of GH¢140,000 from Vivian as compensation for the wedding expenses and money spent on raising the child.

Expressing his frustration during the programme, Aikins maintained that he deserved compensation for the financial sacrifices he had made based on his belief that the child was his.

He insisted that the DNA results had changed his understanding of the marriage and that he wanted his wife to account for the money he had invested in their relationship and the child's welfare.

“I came here because I need my compensation of GH¢140,000 from her because I have really spent on her and the child and the wedding as well, “he said.
