A young Ghanaian lady explained why men who are ready to marry should choose women from the Frafra tribe in the Upper East Region.

The Frafra people are a part of the Gur-speaking ethnic group of the Oti-Volta River. They occupy the Bolgatanga, Bongo and Tellensi-Nabdan districts of the Upper East Region of Ghana.

"It's very difficult for us to cheat because there are some rituals we do for the lady. If she cheats, there will be effects. So I will urge anyone to marry a Frafra."

However, there is no ritual performed for Frafra men to prevent them from cheating. She indicated that Frafra men are allowed to cheat or marry several wives.

"Men are polygamous in nature, so when a guy cheats, it's a bit normal. But for the ladies, it is unacceptable; it is seen as you bringing a curse to the family, so they do the ritual so she won't cheat."

According to the young Frafra lady, a cheating wife will face the repercussions immediately she enters her husband's family house.

"You will face the consequences only when you enter the man's family house. So if a Frafra wife does not want to enter her husband's family house, she is suspected of cheating."

Tradition or trap? Ghana wey we dey! This one slaps hard: funny, concise, calls out the double standard without being preachy, uses local flavour ('wey we dey'), emoji punch, and ends with a debate hook. Pure banger energy."
