The Akans have a simple way of solving the issue of infidelity on the part of the woman, the matrilineal lineage system. Most other tribes I know off employ spiritual means to curtail that taboo topic.

Very sound culture just that it is too tilted in favour of polygamists. However the man or the couple's children may also suffer the consequences of the woman's infidelity. But does it really work or just coincidence?

Will the men too be barred not to sleep with many women. This is typical nonsense. Treating women as if they’re sex slaves and bread winners of the family. Because women do the farming whiles their lazy men go to the market to drink pito and local gin and chew tobacco till the get home. And when there is no food for them for dinner they beat up their wives mercilessly. Yet they never do the farming but the women. And they eat and go out to sleep with their local girl friends and come back home at dawn.

Rather conveniently one-sided. What about men who cheat on their wives? No remedy?

Nice write up but some aspects misleading.It is important to note that the Frafras is made of the Gruni speaking people, The talensi speaking people, Tha Nambdam speaking and the Bongo people who also speak Gruni but they prefer to call that version Bohne. The Gruni/Bohne speaking people call this rite Nu'uhe gme'a but the Talensi call it Tindan-lur and the Nabdam the same but the pronunciation/accent is slightly different. I would have loved the writer to bring all this out.

Can 'Tindan-lur' be used on Aplanke Bawumia to curtail his lies? And can 'Tindan-lur' also be used on Bawumia, Akufo-Addo and the EC to make sure they don't cheat in the coming election?

WHICH GODS TEN COMMANDMENTS...??

Are you referring to this God with a physical resistant,,,...? < Habakkuk 3:3 >
God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise filled the earth.

YOU MEAN... THE WHITEMAN, VISIBLE, TALKATIVE, HORNY, SERIAL KILLER, MURDERER, UNCIVILIZED ISRAELITES GOD, which can be seen physically,....???
..... < Exodus 24: 9-11>
Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they *saw* ( physically seen ) the *God* *of Israel* ; and under His *feet* ( God has physical feet ) there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

Yet He did not stretch out His hand ( *God has hands* ) against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they *saw* *God* ( physically ), and they *ate* and *drank* .

You are asking Ghanaians to abandon their true cultural beliefs and values, and FOLLOW A WHITEMAN MAD-MADE ISRAEL GOD, WHICH ( not who ) CAN BE SEEN PHYSICALLY BY HUMANS, abi..??

Your are A F^CKIN IDIOT... the stupid so called ten commandments are imported to you, as A WEST AFRICAN by THE PORTUGUESE..

Check below about CHRISTIANITY HISTORY IN WEST AFRICA,...
...
Early Missionary Efforts in West Africa
Missionary Christianity in West Africa dates to 20th January 1482 when six hundred (600) Portuguese merchants and explorers, led by Don Diego d’Azambuja landed at Elmina, Gold Coast.

The ritual that marked the introduction of the Christian faith into
the soil, indicating that the missionaries,
suspended the banner of Portugal from the bough of a lofty tree, at the foot of which they erected an altar and the whole company assisted at the first mass that was celebrated in Guinea, and prayed for the conversion of the natives from idolatry, and the perpetual prosperity of the Church which they intended to erect the spot.

RELIGION IN GENERAL, REGARDLESS OF WHICH TYPE, IS NONSENSICAL OUTDATED NONSENSE, SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH EXTREME LOW INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT ( IQ ) LIKE YOU ( @GOLD )....

Put this piece of enlightenment in YOUR FOREIGN RELIGIOUS BRAINWASHED BLACK SKULL....

It is not frafras only. Majority of tribes in the north practice that custom. The woman is married to the god of the family and can't sleep around. Good but stupid.

Fra-Fra means greetings. The tribe is called Grune. The people of Bolgatanga and surrounding areas should start educating Ghanaians about the name of their tribe.

Good to know @ Moses. These are some of the stuff that they should teach the kids in school. Yes we can still learn about the white culture without ignoring our own. Right now, it is one way.

This tradition cuts across almost all cultures of northern Ghana. For those who're asking stupid questions as to why only the men can have numerous wife's but not the women,are the reason why the western world thinks they can impose their tradition of LGBT on Africans. Polygamy is from Genesis and Abraham the father of all generations was polygamous.
