7 Ghanaian celebrities who are under pressure to get married

In Ghana, society demands that people get married at a certain age.

For men, it is usually between 30 and 33, while it is between 27 and 30 for women.

For many Ghanaian celebrities who have gone past the expected marriage period, there is immense pressure on them to "settle down".

Most of the pressure comes from their fans who bombard them with questions on social media as to when they are getting married.
