This is normal in this part of Ghana. Many of these old fools marry about ten of these young girls. The culture that allows this in the Northern regions and Volta region where Trokosi is a religion should be banned.

Even the Majority leader of Parliament, Alba Bagbin and Alhaji Muntaka from Asawase constituency took child brides.

The stepfather and the supposed husband should both be arrested and prosecuted for child marriage and endangering the life and future of the 9 year old. What stupidity is that custom which allows a nine year old girl to marry, let alone to someone who could be his grandfather? In this day and age?

Please am begging government to send development to our area. so that schooling will be attractive to the young ones. This will help educate many for the future so that this shameful behavior will stop. It is going on in the northern region of Ghana and it is very prevalent. for some of us who were privileged to be born elsewhere anytime we go home it makes us really sad. Country man JDM i beg you take care of your own. You are concentrating only on Gonja land to the neglect of the other three Northern regions. All the other parts of the region need attention. Education is the solution to these problems. It is nothing but education.

It is people like you who can go educate your people. What has government got to do with this when education and for that matter schooling has always been free in that part of Ghana? It is equally rooted in Volta Region who pride themselves as being well educated. Pedophiles hide behind tradition in the name of "trokosi" where vulnerable innocent under age girls are forcibly married against their wills. Its about time these pedophiles are brought to book to face the full rigors of the rape (unbailable) law.

Where in the world has this writer been? Asking gov't send development to 'their' area so that education would be attractive. The northern part of Ghana has had free education which is the key to success and development even before the inception of the country so I'm at loss of words for this comment. The north has what the rest of the country don't have to the extent of having two elected presidents emerging from the area, while the current president is denying the rest of country the chance to have the same free secondary education by saying it is not feasible. Give free education for the whole nation.

These foolish cultural practices are way out of the norm. Nine year old being married off to a grandpa at such a tender age? Perhaps they have married off younger girls less than nine years of age before.

1. please protect the identity of the girl by taking her picture off social media - to reduce stigmatization.

2. the little girl has to go through psychosocial counseling if she is to recover properly from the trauma and function normally in society. in addition to reporting such cases, journalists should also link these victims to counseling services.
