ReplyDeleteFact 1. Ghana has 3 types of marriages. A. Marriage by ordinance, customary marriage and registry. Except for customary marriage, You can't marry two wives. Note customary marriage is done at home and not sign in court or church. That's what Muslims practice here in Ghana. I believe Muslims marry more than one in Nigeria to. So what's the difference?
