Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Gwen Cudjoe, a UK-based Ghanaian, recently shared her harrowing experience of emotional abuse and financial exploitation at the hands of her husband.

Gwen said her husband's behaviour changed after their marriage, involving demands for money and threats to report her to immigration authorities if she refused.

The situation escalated when she discovered through her husband's ex-wife that he had married her primarily for financial support, not genuine affection.

The ex-wife's disclosure added another layer to the ordeal, indicating that Gwen's husband never entered the marriage for love.
