Our Traditional Marriage Customs: Its Authentic Past, Its Wavered Present and Its Timeless Future

By Vanessa Danso

Yaanom...Mekyea Mo Nyinaa, Mema Mo Akwaaba! Hello my gorgeous readers! Okay...I know I know...it's been a ridiculously long time since I wrote you guys... but don't shoot me though...your girl just lost her mojo for a while but now I’m back...and as always with a must-read article which I promise you'll enjoy so do get comfy.

Today I will be putting the topic of our Ghanaian "traditional marriage" system on the table. Yes... I know... it's quite an undertaking, but I'm gonna take one for the team here (smiling). Now I’m sure we can all agree that there have been some misconceptions about our beautiful traditional marriage system, its customs, its rites, its history etc... I'm hoping that by the end of this article, we will all be a bit more enlightened on the different issues that will be addressed here as well as the proper use of some terminology...I mean...it's about time we call a spade a spade, because let's face it... if it's not clear to us...then it sure won't be clear to the generation to come who is learning from us. Before we get down to business though...do enjoy the short introductory animation made by yours truly.

Enjoy the video
