This is a stupid law. The person who impregnate a teenage schoolgirl should marry the girl, take care of the unborn baby, continue to support the girl in schooling until she reaches University.
They must be made to pay at least GHC10,000, or must be made to care for the victim untill she completes her education, and pay for the childs up- keep, or five years imprisonment.
Investigate the cause and let the men pay 10,000.
THEY NEED TO START PROSECUTING ANY TEACHER WHO IMPREGNATES ANY STUDENT UNDER THE AGE OF 18 .
I totally agree with u @ Bell nono
SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ARE THE SAME BELL NENO YOU FOOL TOO MUCH .
Ntafo3 ne Mpepefo p3 twe too much.
I think the community want more teenage pregnancy. What is 250 n 300 CEDIS in view of the magnitude of this offence, this fine will not prevent the men.

Did you take your time to read and understand it properly?.
This just proves how DUMB black people are. They "fine" teachers for molesting children. I can't believe that is an actual thing in Ghana. Blacks are inferior to whites in every way. Please stay out of our counties and take b ...

The story says they will pay a fine and pay for her expenses before being arrested. This is because often times, they are jailed and poor parents can't afford the pregnant teen's expenses. But the baboon that you are couldn ...

Another foolish law. If the culprit cant afford to pay what happens, if you jail him what happens after birth when he refuse to suppprt baby and mother. The same ntafuor from the north. Ghanas problem.
Let the law work. Sexual acts with an under aged amounts to defilement. Consent is irrelevant here. Some the law takes its course. These fines cannot replace the law. What if some one has the money to pay? Should he be allow ...

Just get your 330 gh cedis and you are entitled to a teenage girl. This is quite disgraceful and Otiko must act
This is absolute NONSENSE. JAIL THAT DOG FOR LIFE. AND THAT WILL STOP.
The chief n elders of this particular community should be arrested for such a nasty set by-law bcos it clearly indicates that they don't want the best for the Sch girls in the community n in a way had also permitted the guys ...

This is a very good initiative. God bless the traditional leaders of that community. in fact this must be recommended to the appropriate ministry for it to be applied nation wide.
Paragraphs 2 states that after the fines, the culprit will be handed over to the police. This I assume means these are additional punishments to the law and not a substitution.
If we all care to read well before jumping to b ...

I wonder how mist of them read the story. I understand why so many fail English comprehension.
WHAT DOES THE NATIONAL LAW SAY? THIS BYE-LAW MUST BE IMMEDIATELY SCRAPPED. RATHER, A COMMITTEE MUST BE SET UP WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BRINGING IMMEDIATE LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT ON SUCH IDIOTS DENYING THE GIRLS THEIR BEAUTIFUL ...

Are you serious? A man rapes a teenage girl, destroys her future and the only punishment is GHC250 and if it happens to be a teacher GHC300. Those who came out with this trash must themselves be rapists. Don't fine these men, ...

Such stupid laws power the criminals to commit more crimes to the youth!
I now understand why people spew a lot of garbage on this platform. It's either they don't read the stories or don't understand simple English. The elders are clear; the punishment is that one would be made to pay 300cedis an ...

Can that fines pay the child up bringing?It should rather be provision for child support.
Am ready with my money. I have Ghc 500, so I need two teens. Is this a community worth living in with such stupid laws?
Let the legal system work. Protect the vulnerable. Love this.
I think we should be talking of 10,000 gh cedis flat or in defualt, imprisonment.
