The Relationship Between Gborbu Wulomo and Girl 12, A Betrothal Rather Than A Marriage—GaDangme Council

In a recent statement, the GaDangme Council made it clear that the contentious relationship between a 12-year-old girl and a traditional Ga priest is a betrothal rather than a marriage.

The Council stressed how crucial it is to make it clear that the connection has different legal ramifications as a betrothal than as a marriage.

As stated in the initial article, “We are inclined to side with the Gborbu Wulomo since there was another ceremony that awaited the girl to purify and prepare her for procreation,” the statement said.

The Council emphasized that although a betrothal may involve a minor, it does not allow for the beginning of a sexual connection with a kid.

Due to immature organs and probable health hazards following birth, such behaviors endanger the child’s education.
