Reason Akosua Serwaa didn't file for divorce

In the trending video, veteran gospel musician Edward Akwasi Boateng stated that under Ghanaian law, the spouse who initiates a divorce must go through the appropriate legal process, such as the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), or a relevant authority outside Ghana, to dissolve the marriage.

According to him, some individuals avoid officially filing for divorce because they fear financial loss. If the woman files, the law may require her to compensate the man since she carries his name.

"My wife was the one who left me, so she has to file for divorce at the KMA. But she doesn’t want to take it there and spend a lot of money. Whoever leaves the partner has to pay a lot. So they avoid it,” he said.
"They’ll keep the divorce papers and present them after you pass away. I will personally file to confirm that she has divorced me. Once accepted, the marriage will officially end. She took my name, so she should take the papers there for compensation to be processed."
