    Marriage institution is near its end. nothing matters to women than greed of chopping off a chunk of the man's property. greed often leads to death. Now one cannot just push away an abusive woman. It is not about bills or cho ...

    Now all our cheating women (John Mensah's, Odartey Lamptey's, John Paintsil's wives, for example) can go and sleep all over the world and come back to collect half the properties.

    The trend is going to change - women will start dying before their husbands, if this law/bill is passed. Let Africans be Africans and don't impose "western" cultural values upon us.

    In Ghana women are looked upon as tools, instruments, "slaves" to satisfy men!

  • K, LONDON 9 years ago

    Just lifting laws made in the western world and planting it on Ghanaian society is NOT intelligent enough.

    It is fascinating how narrow minded all of you are. If your father leaves his children with 100 gh cedi’s, why should the boy get 90 and the girl 10! Go out and work for your own property! Are men afraid of competition from ...

    No, Kelvin, if a man cheats, it is up to the woman to make a civil case for that misdemeanour to be addressed and vice versa. Making the case will probably trigger divorce which will automatically entitle the woman to half of ...
