A Ghanaian man has narrated his marital woes and the issues that led to his divorce just one month after an extravagant wedding.

Harry said he saved up to organise his ex-wife’s dream wedding; however, the marriage hit the rocks just one month after that.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Harry said they got married in April, and by May, his partner and her father had filed for a divorce.

Harry explained that the lady asked for a divorce after he disagreed with her on moving in with his in-laws.

“I was not as rich as my in-laws. I did not have my own place, but I had rented a decent apartment for us to live in. My wife insisted we move in with her parents and I was not in support of that idea. We never discussed where we would live before we got married.”

He said that after a month of disagreement, his wife filed for a divorce in court. According to Harry, his father-in-law was also supporting his daughter in her actions.

“She and her father took the case to court. Fortunately, we had not been together for long.”

Harry said even though he was mentally strong, his family and friends were worried he could do the unthinkable.

“There was a time my mum almost collapsed because she could not reach me. She hurried to my apartment, thinking I had taken my life. That was when I knew how worried my people were.”

Harry added that a job offer at the UN during the court proceedings helped him quickly forget about the issue.

“I accepted the offer without reading the conditions or checking my salary. I just wanted to leave Ghana so I could forget about the matter.”
