IT IS TIME
Now the pedophiles are ready to get more children into marriage. It won’t be 12 years this time but as little as 4 years. Shame on these ILE IFE migrants.

I don't understand why Ghanaians think a teenager being married to a deity meant it's something degrading to Gas. They are funny. Even in the Bible, Solomon married 1000 wives , or more. Wouldn't that be considered as abnormal by some countries now? The girl isn't even 12 like they are saying,shes 16 and can even be more. Secondly, the dumb Ghanaians don't know it's molestation only if a physical contact with made to the underage. That's the crime. But this girl is living with her parents and just married to a deity. And it's a custom for the people for thousands of years before Western rules came. Even the Deity nor the Priest haven't committed any crime BECAUSE THE SO CALLED MARRIAGE UNION ISNT SUPPOSED TO BE CONSUMMATED WHICH WILL CONSTITUTE CHILD ABUSE , CHILD MOLESTATION ETC. ITS JUST A TRADITIONAL RITE WHERE THE GIRL GOES THROUGH A FIRST TRADITIONAL CUSTOM TO BE CONSUMMATED LATER. ITS ONLY A CRIME IF THE UNION HAS TO BE CONSUMMATED WITH SEX. PRIMITIVE GHANAIANS WITH LOW IQS

The crime against the Law is when the girl child is abused sexually right? When the girl marries and lives with the Man for consummation through Sex right? Isn't that the crime? When it's marriage with sex against a minor , that's the crime right? That's what people are talking against right? But the Gas are saying and telling these primitive and smelly jungle dwellers that this isn't a marriage with sex as the ultimate consummation. The girl is bethroted and lives normally with her parents until the right age. And the deity nor the Priest have sexual intercourse with the girl that will result in child abuse and molestation. And this is just a traditional thing like how some tribes and royal families have to marry their cousins for the sake of the royal family, but in other countries it's against the law as INCEST. Primitive Ghanaians want to appear civilized but they don't understand what they are saying . Still the Gas are enlightened than you all because they won the Independence for Ghana. Apuuuu

You have no sense because the report didn't say it was a regular marriage like normal wife and husband but a traditional marriage rite for the deity with the lady in question living with her parents.

One thing Ghanaians should know is , even there are some practices which are illegal in some countries but still legal in other countries. Many Arab countries practice incest in the past and they still do. Many nations practice incest . For example incest is practiced in Ivory Coast, the Netherlands etc now now. But this same incest is illegal and against the law in all 50 USA STATES. Now you are talking about a Ga tradition that has been happening for the past 600 years and you want it to appear as backward but we are saying there is no abuse here which forms the crime anyways. The crime is for an under aged girl child to be molested under dubious unions and relationships. The abuse and molestation involves physical contact. That's the basis of the crime. That's what defiles an under age girl child. But we Gas are saying that girl won't have any sex with any man , she won't be abused because she's living with her own parents. And besides she's only bethroted to a deity. Look there are more traditional events practiced over the years that are legal in some countries and at the same tim, illegal in other countries. Arab countries practice incest for many years. In Iran, people marry their cousins and close relations now now. Google Incest in Iran. But this same incest is banned in all 50 US STATES. So what's the big deal . This is just a traditional thing , it's not real like an individual Ghanaian marrying underage girl which of course will be a crime because under that arrangement the girl will have sex while being under aged. This is just traditional purely, with the girl marrying legally and properly and having sex later when she's far older.

I don't understand the big fuss, in some countries, and mind you not banana republic, CHILDREN CAN MARRY, but with parental permission. In Iraq, Jamaica, Uruguay, etc children marry. Just Google it. In Sudan, girls can marry at 10 and boys at 15,just Google it. In Tanzania, Muslim and Hindu girls can marry at 12. Six countries, namely Saudi Arabia, Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen don't specify a minimum wage for marriage. So what you guys think you are saying about a Priest or Deity marrying a 16 year old girl and having a big cry is no big girl. This isn't a normal marriage with sexual consummation. It's purely traditional with the girl living with her parents. Ghanaians should read more

So how far is this ban compactible with peoples businesses, espercially the entertainment and amusement sectors? Are they supposed to close down for that 1 month ban period? What if they go bankrott? And who compensates them for the fall-out. Infact we have to think over some of our customs if we really want to move ahead. Just recently an up coming and promising modern goat Farmer was forced to close down his project by the traditional authorities just because thier fetish can't smell goats.

Having read all the comments, I can only conclude that many Ghanaians are tribal bigots and very stupid. I have always stated that I am a fiercely proud Ga and would not change my identity or Ga heritage for anything. Why the hatred and inane rants against Gas. No one is forcing you to live in Accra. We certainly do not need cretins and miscreants living with us.
For non Gas saying that they own land in Accra , well good for you. Instead of showing gratitude to Gas accommodating you ,you are rathet casting aspersions on Gas. For those amongst you that are unable to come to terms with our Ga traditions, there is nothing stopping you from returning to your homes during the the noise making ban. Be circumspect in your comments.
