I can finally see your intellectual deficit and legally ignorant. It is NOT the duty of the TRIAL JUDGE anywhere in the world to VERIFY any documents presented by the Defence or the Plaintiff. Both the Plaintiff and the Defence/Respondent HAVE A DUTY to present their cases Either BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT in the Case of a CRIMINAL case or trial or on the BALANCE OF PROBABILITIES in a Civil Case.
AGAIN I can see you DO NOT understand LAW. I am a qualified Accountant cum a qualified Institute of Governance-Company Secretary- I read-English Law, Business Law and Company Law.
THERE IS ALWAYS COMMON LAW IN EVERY JURISDICTION in this world- Ghana one is our TRADITIONAL LAWS, Customs and Beliefs.
ODO Broni GAVE Daddy Lumba comfort and happiness for over 19 years with 6 children as well. Lumba lived and worked and paid TAXES in Ghana in the last 19 years of his life. Ghana Law therefore covers ODO BRONI because Lumba was working and paying TAXES IN GHANA.
Again-I renounced my Ghanaian Citizenship in order to become a BRitish Citizen- but because I have a Ghana Birth Certificate and my original passport as a child from Ghana-I can apply for a Ghana passport-despite my renunciation of the Ghana citizenship.
ODO BRONI have a BIG SAY- Akosua Serwaah DENIED Daddy Lumba SEX and COMFORT for over 19 years. Her married is NULL AND VOID for her UNREASONABLE BEHAVOIUR by denying her husband SEX and COMFORT for over 19 years. ARE YOU MAD? There WAS NO MARRIAGE BETWEEN Akosua Serwaah and LUmba based on her unreasonable behaviour-DENYING HIM SEX AND COMFORT. That is the REAL LAW-COMMON LAW, ENGLISH LAW. PERIOD
We are talking about common sense. In the UK-we have COMMON LAW as well as English Law. Common Law is like our Traditional Laws in Ghana. Is Kent Village MAD. He or she is insulting everybody who DO NOT take sides but support common sense. No matter what-ODO BRONI-HAS COMMON LAW RIGHTS for looking after Lumba for 19 years in Ghana cum the 6 little children. Lumba was NOT paying any taxes in Germany for the last 19 years. Lumba was NOT working in Germany anymore until he died. He has left Germany PERIOD. The only work they do in Germany is Airport CLEANING or Hospital Cleaning-because they DO NOT SPEAK THE GERMAN LANGUAGE in the first place.
By the way Kent is a County in England-UK. There is also a Kent County in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc because the English-Kings or Queens ruled or colonised USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. Mate-you are talking as if the white man or woman value you THE BLACK MONKEY. I have lived in the UK for 40 years. I came here as a small boy. I hold a British Citizenship and hence their passport. I went to Germany to register as a German when UK was part of the European Union-EU. What you are saying is as if the Germans care about you BLACK MONKEY. I was in Frankfurt main station one day and a little boy became stuck in a lift. When the German Fire Service turned up, they asked for the mother-the Immigration Papers of the child stuck in the lift, instead of thinking about health, welfare and safety of the child. Without the mother producing the child immigration papers, the Fire Service would have called the German police to come and arrest the child and deport the child. I will enlighten you about the European Continent immigration rules. ALL Foreigners-that is coloured people-BLACK PEOPLE in France, Germany, Belgium, Holland etc etc are REQUIRED BY LAW to carry their immigration documents every day every where they go outside their house. When I first went to Germany from the UK, the following day-My friends told me to take my passport with me when we were going outside. I asked him why? My friend told me that is the RULE in Germany here. Immediately we stepped outside, we drove for about 5 minutes and we saw a Car Dealership. We stopped there to look at some cars-whilst standing out-a German Policeman drove by and stopped and asked ALL OF US OUR IMMIGRATION PAPERS. after IO have shown the Policeman my passport-I told the policeman-it is NOT like that in the UK. The German policeman retorted-you BETTER GO BACK TO England. I took a picture with that German Policeman. When I left German-We drove to Belgium and whilst in Ostend-a Belgium Police van came to us to ask for our immigration papers again in Belgium. I was on a TRAM-small Railway in Holland-Armsterdam and the Immigration came to check on our immigration papers. I DO NOT WANT TO GO ON-AND ON. YOu are A BLACK MONKEY. Your land is AFRICA. You are RESPECTED IN AFRICA BUT NOT IN DONALD TRUMP USA-OR EUROPE. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.7777777777777

@ k Opoku . It is the work of the court to verify the authenticity of documents. They have departments that handles that. How could the corrupt local judge reach the conclusion if she stupidly failed to verify it from German Embassy Accra the authenticity of the submitted Marriage certificate? No! How could she draw the conclusion that it is not authentic.

Both of you have made some factual and legal errors.

ALL cases are different in their CONTEXT and CONTENT. Two cases may look similar but they can be handled differently not departing unnecessarily from precedent.

@ K Opoku's comments are very academic not professional.

Now when a document is presented in court, it will before then be in the Statement of Claim that they will show evidence to the court during testimony.

Ok, When the claimants lawyer is on his/her feet, the document is produced and commentary is made in it (Show and tell). Even before this time, the other party would be made aware of that document in the case conference or the case management stage depending on the type of case.

Sometimes, its submitted there then it is argued for or against and then the document will go in. Sometimes, the lawyer will therefore ask to provide it at hearing. Depending, the judge and the other party will agree. This case partly relies heavily on the marriage certificate so i am sure Serwaas lawyer requested to tender it at hearing which was allowed.

At hearing, note that the claimant, respondent AND THE JUDGE have a duty to justice and the RULE OF LAW. Therefore, the judge can also authenticate a document to ascertain its veracity. For example a judge who is a commercial law judge will know the security features on a company certificate. That judge can scrutinise any document in his preview and ask questions. If the lawyer who presented it still insists, the judge will just create a folder with a reference number for the document then make a direction instantly to refer the document to the appropriate authorities to authenticate.

Specific to this case: What we know is that Akosua Serwaas lawyers tendered PHOTO COPIES to the court. This is in the public domain and a fact. Hahahahahahahahahaha. I laugh loud. NO COURT IN THE WROLD WILL ACCEPT such a document especially as it is a Family Law matter. The judge can be disciplined. My friends, you know why Akosua Serwaa brought copies of a a supposed GERMAN Marriage Certificate in court? If she brings an original copy, the judge would definitely have referred it to the German Embassy, Viola. Akosua Serwaa is in trouble.

Two things: I believe strongly that, that original copy would have been fake then perjury. Secondly, remember Akosua Serwaa presented drinks to Lumbas family towards her divorce from Lumba. I believe strongly that she did that because she married another man either in Germany or in Ghana.

I tell you. In the Western world, bigamy is seen as a very very serious offence. If an original document gets to the German authorities, they will definitely scrutinise it to the core. I can bet my life on that.

Akosua Serwaa's lawyers should be referred to the Disciplinary committee because there is no way that a matrimonial matter will be decided on a photocopy of s supposed marriage certificate. Believe me, in England, it will be a disciplinary issue and a very serious one. This is first year law School matter.

@Kofi. All what you have written is factually inaccurate. They had presented a certified copy which is normal in Germany. I have lived in Germany for more that 40 years and German Embassy wouldnt have ever confirmed the marriage with an official letter if it is not authentic. You are only basing your comments on assumption.It is pure rubbish. Certified copies are accepted everywhere in the world. the least they could do was to verify it officially from the German Embassy. This is a civil case not a criminal case.
secondly, Both Lumba and Madam Akosua Serwaah are German nationals. They have renounced their nationalities. arguably, this case is beyond this jurisdiction.Had Lumba immediate family seeked help to fly the copse back to Germany, the German Embassy would have assisted them .

@Kent Village. Please in matrimonial matters, the ORIGINAL marriage certificate is sought for everywhere. Please research into every Law School and in practice which i have personal knowledge of. They will never ever accept a copy of a marriage certificate. Look on each marriage certificate. It is written that it should be kept very well and not to be destroyed or defaced or words to that effect. There is a reason why.

The court could forward it to the German Embassy to verify if they presented an original marriage certificate my friend. That is very very easy. Akosua Serwaa could have applied for another marriage certificate easily from the German authorities to present to the court.

Think about it. Why do you think the judge said the copies of the marriage certificate is not admissible? Why? It is a court my friend.

In matrimonial matters, original marriage certificates are used in court and never copies.

I tell you, this is first year Law School stuff.

I AM REFERRING TO A COURT.

If it was a Western country, Akosua Serwaa's lawyers would never have used tended in a certified copy.

I appreciate you have lived in Germany for 40 years but you have not gone near their courts for 40 years.

@Kofi If you ask me to produce the original of my over 40 years of marriage certificate, I cant produce it but in Germany any certified copies are admissible in any office or court. Marriage certificates are certified in " Standesamt" where you get married, courts and Notary Public. Notary Public in Germany are Lawyers with special authority.Bear with me that the Appeal court will definitely rule in favour of Madam Akosuah Serwaah and reverse the lower court decision. They have legal merit. The local corrupt judge knows it. She empathized with the Priscilla instead of strict interpretation of the law. It is absurd. Cheers!

There is nothing fishy behind why Madam Akosuah Serwaah could not provide the original marriage certificate. The date on the certified copies are current and endorsed by the same " Standesamt" Register General who had issued the marriage certificate. Nobody would issue a new marriage certificate which serial number may conflicts with the old one. We live in a very conservative society.

I can't understand how it could be possible to nullify and discard DL and Akosua Serwa or describe it illegitimate unless their marriage in Germany was dissolved earlier. Otherwise it is the duty and the respdosibility of the judge to verify the marriage certificate presented. Supposing either Odo broni or Akosua Serwa had falsified their documents and presented to the court. Does this judge claim that she has no time to carry out the court own due diligence?

@Balman The least the local corrupt Judge could have done was to verify the German Marriage of Ordinance certificate from German Embassy Accra. The corrupt local judge did know that digging for the authenticity of the marriage certificate would come out genuine so the best thing to do was to burry it. She is a disgrace to the judiciary and the country, Ghana. It is never done anywhere.Having children with a man doesnt qualify a woman to perform this widowhood.I think the family is prepared to drag this case to supreme court and the corrupt judge would pay a high price for the miscarriage of justice. There is even an official confirmation letter from German Embassy Accra.

Where did this foolish lawyer go to law school. From experience , some lawyers in Ghana are so dumb. I was wondering where he his law certificate from. Some lawyers in Ghana just want to be called a lawyer. Nothing is in their head.You have proven that Ignorance is indeed a disease. What is more authentic than an official letter from German embassy in Accra confirming that Lumba and Madam Akosuah Serwaah were officially married and recognised in Germany living together as a couple in Bornheim near Bonn, Germany. The least the court could have done was to verify it from German Embassy Accra.We are not seeing the difference between the corrupt judge and you.Do you think the German Embassy which represents the country Germany is so stupid to announce officially that Lumba and Madam Akosuah Serwaah were couple recognised by the German authorities till the day, Lumba died. Tell us why Lumba did not cancel his official residence from Bornheim where he was living with the family?He had the liberty to cancel or move his address from the house he was living with his wife and the children officially. Did the Germany Embassy say they were even officially seperated? Hell no.Daddy Lumba was a German citizen. He had renounced his Ghanaian citizenship. It means, in theory, the family could decide to fly his copse back to Germany. You are a shallow minded person..I think the family is prepared to drag this case to supreme court and the corrupt judge would pay a high price for the miscarriage of justice.Be rational, objective and critical thinker.

You guys are just emotional unintelligent. That's your problem . Instead hiring a good lawyer to build a strong case you chose celebrity and social media lawyer . That's the result you got . Nothing will change . Even if you appeal base on the previous evidence submitted you will still lose. And if you decide to introduce fresh incidence you would have to demonstrate to the court why they should accept that fresh evidence .

Yes,the lawyer of Akosua Serwah failed on legal technical grounds.
I don't want to delve into the details of law because I'm not a lawyer.
Let's deal with the simple issues,the basic things.
When it comes to documents,certification is key.
When it comes to certificate,authencity is very crucial.
Here we are talking about "original and certified document".
These are "technical terms" so far as administration is concerned.
Another issue is the "translation of language".
In some strict institutions,"only certified translators"have the right to do this job.
I think Serwah was unable to present the "original marriage certificate" according to the judgement.
I also think the translation was not done by the right professional.
These are some of the technicalities that beat Serwah's lawyer.Tnx.

Her married is NULL AND VOID for her UNREASONABLE BEHAVOIUR by denying her husband SEX and COMFORT for over 19 years. ARE YOU MAD? There WAS NO MARRIAGE BETWEEN Akosua Serwaah and LUmba based on her unreasonable behaviour-DENYING HIM SEX AND COMFORT. That is the REAL LAW-COMMON LAW, ENGLISH LAW. PERIOD
We are talking about common sense. In the UK-we have COMMON LAW as well as English Law. Common Law is like our Traditional Laws in Ghana. Is Kent Village MAD. He or she is insulting everybody who DO NOT take sides but support common sense. No matter what-ODO BRONI-HAS COMMON LAW RIGHTS for looking after Lumba for 19 years in Ghana cum the 6 little children. Lumba was NOT paying any taxes in Germany for the last 19 years. Lumba was NOT working in Germany anymore until he died. He has left Germany PERIOD. The only work they do in Germany is Airport CLEANING or Hospital Cleaning-because they DO NOT SPEAK THE GERMAN LANGUAGE in the first place.
By the way Kent is a County in England-UK. There is also a Kent County in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc because the English-Kings or Queens ruled or colonised USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand etc. Mate-you are talking as if the white man or woman value you THE BLACK MONKEY. I have lived in the UK for 40 years. I came here as a small boy. I hold a British Citizenship and hence their passport. I went to Germany to register as a German when UK was part of the European Union-EU. What you are saying is as if the Germans care about you BLACK MONKEY. I was in Frankfurt main station one day and a little boy became stuck in a lift. When the German Fire Service turned up, they asked for the mother-the Immigration Papers of the child stuck in the lift, instead of thinking about health, welfare and safety of the child. Without the mother producing the child immigration papers, the Fire Service would have called the German police to come and arrest the child and deport the child. I will enlighten you about the European Continent immigration rules. ALL Foreigners-that is coloured people-BLACK PEOPLE in France, Germany, Belgium, Holland etc etc are REQUIRED BY LAW to carry their immigration documents every day every where they go outside their house. When I first went to Germany from the UK, the following day-My friends told me to take my passport with me when we were going outside. I asked him why? My friend told me that is the RULE in Germany here. Immediately we stepped outside, we drove for about 5 minutes and we saw a Car Dealership. We stopped there to look at some cars-whilst standing out-a German Policeman drove by and stopped and asked ALL OF US OUR IMMIGRATION PAPERS. after IO have shown the Policeman my passport-I told the policeman-it is NOT like that in the UK. The German policeman retorted-you BETTER GO BACK TO England. I took a picture with that German Policeman. When I left German-We drove to Belgium and whilst in Ostend-a Belgium Police van came to us to ask for our immigration papers again in Belgium. I was on a TRAM-small Railway in Holland-Armsterdam and the Immigration came to check on our immigration papers. I DO NOT WANT TO GO ON-AND ON. YOu are A BLACK MONKEY. Your land is AFRICA. You are RESPECTED IN AFRICA BUT NOT IN DONALD TRUMP USA-OR EUROPE. A WORD TO THE WISE IS ENOUGH.9999999999999999

The judge had earlier raised red flag about the " marriage certificate".
What was exactly her concerns?
The document was not original and so she asked them to produce the "original" next time.
Were they able to present an original Marriage Certificate?
No,they presented a "photocopy of a family book" according to the judge.
Yes,it may be true that were married in Germany but how did they present the marriage certificate in court matters.ai
That's the technicality we are talking about.Tnx.

@Bitter Truth. oooooooooh Bitter Truth. It looks you the critical thinking to comprehend what is happening. Is that how to throw out an appeal The local corrupt judge will pay a high price for miscarriage of justice. She was more empathizing with the poor Priscilla girl instead of strict interpretation of the law. Just mark it on the wall, the family is prepared to drag this case to Supreme Court. Madam Akosuah Serwaah is having the resources to do that and we are willing to contribute any amount to fight the injustice. What about the Poor Priscilla girl?

It's unfortunate a lot of us refuse to read and learn. Courts don't care about your emotions. The law is the law. I read the entire 48 pages and it's clear why the judge went the traditional marriage route.
According to the judge, the evidence submitted “fell short of Sections 136 and 161,” which require the plaintiff to submit the original marriage certificate from the Bornheim Marriage Registry and the corresponding certification from the Ghana Embassy in Germany. Instead, what was provided was only an extract. Also, under the Evidence Act, the plaintiff was required to present “a recognized German civil marriage expert” to testify, but she did not. Let's all note that the burden of proof of civil marriage is on the plaintiff. The judge raised this concern earlier in the case but nothing was done to correct it. Bottom line is, they went to court unprepared. They screwed up thinking they are dealing with a village case.

@Nana Kwame....Oooooooh Nana Kwame! Do you want to tell us that you read better than all of us and the team of lawyers went to court unprepared. What kind of nonsense statement is this. What is written in the verdict is complete miscarriage of justice. It is pure rubbish on the side of the local corrupt judge. She said on the day the verdict was read that it was 74 pages. Why in the name of God, is it 48 pages now? All what you have written is factually inaccurate. They had presented a certified copy which is normal in Germany. I have lived in Germany for more that 40 years and German Embassy wouldnt have ever confirmed the marriage with an official letter if it is not authentic. You are only basing your comments on assumption.It is pure rubbish. Certified copies are accepted everywhere in the world. the least they could do was to verify it officially from the German Embassy.Is that how you practise the common law in Ghana. It is shameful. This is a civil case not a criminal case.Even in criminal case, they may verify.
Secondly, Both Lumba and Madam Akosua Serwaah are German nationals. They have renounced their nationalities. arguably, this case is beyond this jurisdiction.Had Lumba immediate family seeked help to fly the copse back to Germany, the German Embassy would have assisted them. This is miscarriage of justice by the corrupt local judge and the family would drag this case to Supreme Court and this would negatively impact the career of this local corrupt judge.

Many of us did not even know the first wife existed until after the passing of Daddy Lumba. This revelation changes the way we view the family dynamics because, while the first wife held a formal position, her presence in the public and private life of the family was limited or absent during critical moments. In contrast, the second woman has been visibly present, providing care, support, and stability throughout the man’s life, particularly during his periods of illness. She was the one who actively engaged with him, the children, and the household, ensuring that daily life continued despite challenges.

Both women are relevant, but their contributions are distinct. The first wife represents the formal and traditional aspect of the family, but the second woman’s role is more tangible and deeply felt. Her sacrifices and dedication, often overlooked or minimized, were essential to the wellbeing of the man and the family. Disregarding her impact would be a disservice to the truth and to the principles of fairness and respect.

In Ghanaian culture, family, care, and presence often carry more weight than formal documentation. Traditional recognition, caregiving, and daily commitment define the value of one’s role in the family. The second woman exemplifies these principles through her continuous support and visible involvement. Acknowledging her contribution is not about diminishing the first wife’s position but about honoring the lived reality of the family and giving credit where it is due.

Ultimately, both women shaped the man’s life in different ways, but the second woman’s consistent care and presence highlight her irreplaceable role. Recognizing her sacrifices alongside the first wife’s formal position ensures that truth, respect, and justice are upheld for all involved.
