    What about a law criminalizing men who refuse to take care of their biological sons and daughters?

  • Osei Bonsu 1 month ago

    There are laws already. If the women are not using it, then it is their problem.

    A-plus is slow. Some of these trifling busy women don't know their baby dady without DNA. Go watch Maury Povich Show. "He is NOT, the father" lol

  • Kweku Tsin 1 month ago

    Every man should do secret DNA their new borns to clear all doubts. Nevermind, if you're married or not.

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    I fully second this move to criminalize such bad women too

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    Paternity fraud in Ghana is becoming rampant and hurtful to the honest men who suffer to take care of bad women

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    The pain in man from a paternity fraud is by far worse than armed robbery due to permanent emotional torture

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    If the men faces charges for lack of child support, then women must also face charges for paternity fraud which will eventually reduce cheating and dishonesty that make most men die to early from family worries

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    Men suffer too much in society with too much burden, even in the presence of gender equality brought in place to support women.

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    At least there must be some fairness in Gender around the world, including Ghana where some women marry for money and still cheat on their honest husbands due to greed, selfishness and dishonesty without knowing that most the ...

    I will give A-Plus and all MPs who support this move a special credit or enough significant respect

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    Paternity fraud is a life-time emotional torture to the men who become victims with lasting pains like those caused to women who are raped.

  • Divine Ninja of America 1 month ago

    Most beautiful women who were not properly raised by parents or came from a cheating parent like to also cheat and their mindset is to use their bodies for more money or become richer easily fast regardless of any curse that ...

    NO! A-PLUS IS ONTO SOMETHING. THE ONUS IS ON ANY WOMAN WHO IS UNSURE BECAUSE OF THEIR TRIFLING WAYS AS YOU PUT IT, TO SAY SO, SO THAT A PATERNITY TEST CAN DETERMINE PATERNITY. IGNORANCE OF PATERNITY AND THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE. ...

    @Ghana.
    The law already makes provision for that and women take full advantage of it all the time. You should visit the lower courts on any given day.

    I think it is impossible for Some of the women to know who impregnate them because of multiple partners these days.
