  • Gigi 11 years ago

    Dear Queen, there is vast difference between bigamy and polygamy. If a man who has married under the ordinance law in Ghana were to marry another women, he can be charged with bigamy. This law affects both men and women.

  • OZA 11 years ago

    Very well explained. Bigamy is sanctioned by the law for both men and women. No double standard here. Polygamy is a moral and religious issue when it comes to the Ghanaian culture. We frown at it if a woman does it. We accept ...

    Because polygamy has been part of our culture,our Constitution recognizes 3 types of marriages which are customary,Islamic and ordinance(wedding) marriages.customary and Islamic accept polygamy.

    THIS WOMAN HAS BETRAYED GHANAIAN CULTURE BECAUSE GHANAIAN CULTURE DOES NOT PERMIT POLYANDRY WHERE WOMAN CAN MARRY MORE THAN ONE HUSBAND.

  • Angie 11 years ago

    While I don't agree with polygamy, saying she's a disgrace because she's a woman is such a chauvinistic thinking. What makes it alright when men do it? Such hypocracy!

    There's nowhere in Ghana you can marry two women legally. It you're caught you'd face the same sentence. You can only keep a concubine (probably illegal too) but you can't be prosecuted.
