She noted that the ruling makes it clear that financial contribution in marriage is very important.
In this vein, she stressed the need for women to approach marriage as a business transaction.
She also called on women to ensure their partners sign a prenup agreement, especially when it comes to joint property.
She further advised women to ensure they are involved in the acquisition process, payments, and that their names are properly included in all relevant documents.
She finally advised women to invest in themselves during marriage, because unforeseen circumstances may arise.
" Also make sure that you enter into your marriage as a slay queen. No one knows when it will end so invest in yourself and your future".
The lawyer summed it up by admonishing women to take note of the necessary steps during their marriage.
1. Financial contribution to properties is what courts consider most important; ensure ownership is clearly shared.
2. Keep receipts, bank records, and MoMo transaction proofs.
3. Ensure your full name appears on all property documents.
4. Be actively involved in the purchase and construction process.
5. Sign agreements before and during marriage regarding all acquisitions."
The advice from the lawyer comes after Justice Kofi Dorgu, in his final judgment, awarded Joana Quaye one-third share of a house at Dansoman, GH₵300,000 in financial provision, and GH₵5,000 monthly for the upkeep of their three children, along with two cars.

Justice Kofi Dorgu also noted that Joana Quaye was still attractive and could remarry, which formed part of his reasoning.
At the time of writing the report, the video had generated a lot of reactions.
