In many Ghanaian families, the greatest disputes are not caused by strangers, but by the administration of family property itself.
Who truly owns family property?
What duties does a family head owe beneficiaries?
And where does accountability begin when trust is abused?
Domestic violence remains a hidden crisis in Ghana, affecting women and men in many ways; far beyond physical harm. Data from the Ghana Statistical Service shows just how widespread the problem is.

PUBLIC PETITION TO H.E. PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA @JDMahama
Your Excellency,
We respectfully petition your office to urgently review and intervene in the recent High Court judgment delivered by Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Arthur-Smith in the case involving Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, Abusuapayin Kofi, and Priscilla Ofori.
Of grave concern is the rejection of a valid German civil marriage license by a Ghanaian court, despite the clear legal position that German civil marriages are strictly monogamous and legally binding under international law. This decision raises serious concerns about:
1. The protection of legally married spouses
2. The recognition of international marriages in Ghana
3. The safety of Ghanaian women married abroad
4. The consistency of our judicial interpretations
Even more troubling is the reference in the ruling suggesting that Charles Kwadwo (Daddy Lumba) had two wives, which has now been used as a justification to normalize polygamy in a civil marriage context—a position that directly contradicts German and international marital law.
This precedent is dangerous. If allowed to stand, it will:
1. Undermine foreign civil marriages
2. Endanger lawful spouses
3. Encourage bigamy
4. Weaken investor and diaspora confidence in Ghana’s legal system
Mr. President, Ghana is a nation governed by laws, treaties, and mutual legal respect. We humbly call on you to:
1. Order an immediate review of this judgment
2. Protect the sanctity of civil marriage
3. Uphold Ghana’s international legal obligations
4. Defend the rights of lawfully married women
This issue goes beyond one case. It affects every Ghanaian woman married abroad and the integrity of our justice system.
We stand for justice. We stand for truth. We stand for Ghana.

@kwadwosheldon@MensaOtabil Until recently, his church had its head office right on campus, and he visited once a week. Given his frequent presence, it's hard to believe he wasn't (isn't) aware. #fixcentraluniversitynow
