But it is claimed to only be a betrothal arrangement and the girl won't be expected to carry out marital 'duties'.
Duties? What duties are being implied?
The child bride, Naa Okromo, who local media earlier reported to be 12 years old, was wed to Nuumo Borketey Laweh Tsuru XXXIII at a traditional ceremony in Nungua, a neighborhood of the capital, Accra, last Friday.
Can we trust another priest of only have honourable intentions? Or does this call for a prosecution in order to nip the practice in the bud?
