No law in Ghana bans men from marrying two wives – Counsellor Lutterodt

There
is
no
law
banning
men
in
Ghana
from
marrying
more
than
one
wife
according
to
Counsellor
George
Lutterodt.

The
controversial
marriage
counsellor
has
over
the
years
made
statements
that
many
people
have
considered
not
to
be
right
coming
from
a
certified
marriage
counselor.

Making
an
appearance
on
UTV’s
United
Showbiz
show
last
Saturday,
he
stated
that
its
just
religious
and
cultural
beliefs
that
frown
on
men
marrying
more
than
one
wife
but
legally
there
is
no
law
stopping
it.

“If
you’re
polygamous
and
not
a
Muslim,
avoid
civil
marriage
and
opt
for
a
customary
marriage
instead.
Customary
marriages
can
involve
more
than
four
spouses,
potentially
even
twenty.
You’re
allowed
to
do
this
because
there’s
no
law
in
Ghana
that
stops
anyone
from
marrying
as
many
people
as
they
wish.
The
only
legal
issue
arises
if
you
fail
to
take
proper
care
of
your
spouse,
which
is
covered
under
the
Domestic
Violence
Act,”
he
shared.
