One of the social media tales that is currently hot is about a recent marriage ceremony that went well.
As per the rumors circulating on social media, a 63-year-old guy tied the knot with a 12-year-old daughter.
The man, identified as Gborbu Wulomo of Nungua, married a minor for reasons that are only known to himself.
The Gborbu Wulomo of Nungua's marriage to the minor is legal, the Nungua Mantse remarked in response to the news.
Leviticus 21:13, which states, "He is to marry a young virgin, not a widow, not a divorcee, not a cult prostitute—he is only to marry a virgin from his people," was used by King Odaifio Welenttsi III to support his claim. He can't bring disgrace upon his lineage.
Ghanaians reacted furiously to the news on social media, accusing the chief of paedophilia.

Frank Addo This is incorrect. In the name of culture, how is it possible for a 12-year-old girl to marry a 63-year-old man?
Child marriage ought to end since it violates people's rights. It is a destructive custom that deprives young girls of their childhood and opportunities for the future. Together, we have to put an end to this.
