Let us jail the men now and take the properties. Most men have been raping women in bed rooms. Let us teach them lessons one by one.

Hahaha...Naana..very funny...first of all, how can you prove you've been raped by your husband in Ghana?..were there any witness(es) in the bedroom?..or should we jail the man because the woman says so?...any signs of injury?..these can be self-inflicted just to get some properties as you suggest :-)...so medical science has to come in...and that's where the case can die...I'll like ask the minister if any man has ever been convicted of marital rape in Ghana, if so, what evidence was used...

Any sex between partners without first, french kisses and romance before penetration is a RAPE.
Count how many husbands can take time to play with their wives before penetration.
Some women has never get orgasm before.

What Naana? Saying you have been raped by your own husband in Africa, and for this matter Ghana? Your own Grandmother will tell you that, you need to be checked at the mental home.

RAPE IS NOTHING TO BE TOYED WITH. YOU HAVE HAD SEX WITH YOUR HUSBAND A MILLION TIMES AND NOW IT IS RAPE BCOS YOU DIDNT WANT TO DO IT?

ONLY LESBIANS WOULD COME UP WITH A LAW LIKE THIS. BE CAREFUL, HETEROSEXUAL WOMEN OF THE LESBIAN AGENDA COVERED IN THE CLOAK OF WOMEN'S FREEDOM. IT IS A HATRED OF WOMEN AND NOT THE FREEDOM OF WOMEN WHO LOVE MEN.

Oh Naana, you're so funny. Jail men and take their properties? Hmmm, fellow men beware of some of these women. They will marry you and jail you three months later and take over all your properties in the name of domestic rape. Anyway, thank you Naana for giving us some of the plans women have in other to acquire properties from their jailed husbands.

Very soon they will pass a law to legalize sex with animals since that is also a western practice.

Married women must comply or men will not marry and those who report their husbands for raping them should be divorced.Soon our wives will tell us to pay before sex.

Most Ghanaian men don't do foreplay. They just rush into the room, and jump on their wives sometimes fighting them and having their way.

Ghanaian men should undergoing training by the Gender Ministry on how to arouse your wife before having sex.

Ghanaian man are very lousy in making love and too rough if even they don't rape you. In this faculty Nigerian men are far better.

Things like kissing, rubbing and kissing the clitoris, sucking the -breast, playing with our hair and kissing our nipples and other nether regions should be taught to Ghanaian men before they are issued with a marriage permission to marry.
NANA 9 years ago

rubbing and kissing the clitoris,

YOU WEAR A CONDOM TO PROTECT URSELF AND THEN YOU KISS THE WOMAN'S CLITORIS?
IS THAT SAFE? MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
LETS NO COPY EVERYTHING THAT COMES FROM OUTSIDE.

There is nothing like marital rape. If you think someone has committed marital rape and he/she is arrested, it may be necessary for the court to find a substitute spouse for the complainant because the marriage is automatically dissolved. Go away with your nonsense. Why not officially legalize extra-marital relationships?

We can't ask permission always to be with our wives. Whether romance first or not it doesn't matter. How can u marry and still be raped? The bible said we shouldn't deny each other of these things. And even the witness part, whose story will u believe, the wife or the husband? Lets not waste our time on these stupid things. Let Africa be, its what separates us from the other continents. Lets stop copying other cultures.

Not to disrespect any woman, but any of them (and the men) who go into marriage should know what they are going for. Men and women do not go on heat at the same time. If you want to save your marriage, you don't go in with the nonsense of marital rape. Open or get out. By the way, why is the law crafted as if it is only men who rape?

Madam Minister, you have gone too far. What is marital rape? So must I beg my wife or must she beg me for sex? If I don't agree or if she doesn't agree, then this is rape? This is very ridiculous. It is the enforcement of such stupid western laws that makes most western marriages to end in divorce. Is that what we want in Ghana? Well if I want sex and my wife says she is not ready, then I go out. There are plenty women out there who would want a one night fling. So please don't bore us with such stupid western laws.

And the rich man says "I'm getting her a diamond ring and a Marcedes." "Why both?" asks the poor man. And the rich man says "That way if she doesn't like the ring she can still enjoy the Marcedes when she returns the ring." And then the rich man asks the poor man "What are you getting your wives?" And the poor man says "I'm buying her a pair of slippers and a dildo. That way if she doesn't like the slippers she can go fuck herself."

This time round, men have to be selective in the choice of a partner (wife/wives). By the way, can someone explain to me - what marital rape is with regards to our culture. Men beware, some of the women can love and imprison you later. Since when did this marital rape nonsense start in Ghana? The unmarried women should be careful with this negative thinking on their minds.
