The decision by the court follows years of a legal battle started by the former Sunderland and Al-Ain striker.

Gyan and Gifty's marital issues in court

In 2018, Gyan went to court to seek an annulment of his 2013 marriage with the United Kingdom-based Gifty.

As part of his demands, Ghana's all-time leading goalscorer had questioned the paternity of their three children and demanded a DNA test. The test results confirmed him as the father of all three children.

Gyan was seeking the annulment based on Gifty being 'married' already, a sham marriage in 2002, at the time she was marrying him.

Court's decision on Gyan's marriage

According to reports, the court held that although Gifty was only 17 when she got 'married' in 2002, it was still a valid union.

Based on this, the later wedding with Gyan was annulled. But Justice Ameleboba acknowledged that there was enough evidence to prove that Gyan and Gifty had been in an amorous relationship since 2003. This relationship had already produced two children before formalising their union in 2013.

It was for her part in nurturing and caring for their children while Gyan pursued his football career to the fullest that the court granted her the listed properties.
