“I don’t want to have sex out of wedlock, in case I get pregnant again. I already have one child. I love the family setting, so I would like to marry before having any more children. The men who come my way just want to have sex even out of wedlock.”

A mutual friend introduced Pokuaa to a man in Ghana in 2023. The two started talking, and the man went to perform the traditional knocking rites that precede the marriage ceremony.

Pokuaa paid for everything so the man could join her in the UK, spending £13,000 (GH¢261,168) on him. She added that her husband came in November 2023 but started acting funny.

“He didn’t want to chat with me; he always spoke undertone when he had a call, and he often looked moody.”
