What is the law in Ghana. The last time I knew, polygamy is an acceptable practice in Ghana. Can a legal luminary enlighten all of us.

MOSES, ABRAHAM, SOLOMON, AARON, DAVID ETC WERE ALL POLYGAMISTS. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE WHERE GOS SPEAKS AGAINST POLYGAMY. POLYGAMY IS ALLOWED IN KORAN, THE BIBLE AND IN AFRICAN TRADITION.

No one can imprison you or fine you if you and your girl friend decide to live together and make babies even if you are married to another person. The marriage between Sylvester and Martha Okang is finished, anyway.

We speak our languages and have our own rich culture which is second to none. In America when you are dissatisfied with your wife you divorce her and pay child support and care a less about the children who will later mature for the prisons. In Ghana when you are dissatisfied with your current wife you get a more progressive one as the second while keep the sorry one so that you can father the children.
Christian interpretations are full errors that is why the church is dying very fast. The Whites have already given up on it.
Anything in the new testament that is not referenced from the old testament is a sham and must not be followed.

if the second marriage is not registered in court, then on what basis did the judge find guilty of the accused persons? Ghana is full of bogus lawyers and semi-literate judges.

I've married two women and I live in the UK. Come and take me to prison. Idiotic, pathetic, unintelligent judge. Ghana is like a jungle, in fact animal kingdom where stupidity rangs very very high amongst judges.

please those insulting the judge must stop. what she did is in order. in Ghana there are 3 forms of Marriage. customary marriage(polygamous) Mohammedan marriage (polygamous) and Monogamous marriage otherwise church weddings. in the instant case the man made a choice by contracting monogamous marriage under the Marriage Act which barred him from contradicting another marriage unless the existing one had been properly dissolved.by marrying a second wife....he conduct is clearly punishable under the criminal offences Act 1960 Act 29 Chapter 6 which in part provides as follows Whoever, being unmarried, goes through the ceremony of marriage, whether in Ghana or elsewhere, with a person whom he or she knows to be married to another person is guilty of a misdemeanour, whether the other party to the ceremony has or has not such guilty knowledge as to be guilty of bigamy

Marriage is by conscience. It lasts for a time and the love evaporates. Can the learned judge bring the loving back to the old marriage? God bless.

Ignorance it is said is expense. All those who have commented on this matter should educate themselves on the facts of the case and what the law is before villifying the judge.
