A Ghanaian lawyer, Yudah Brown, has added his voice to the ensuing brouhaha surrounding Medikal and Fella Makafui's marriage.
Offering a legal perspective on the whole twist, the lawyer took to his TikTok page @thelaw_gh to discuss the law regarding the sharing of properties after a marriage has ended.
First, he explained that, according to the laws of Ghana, property acquired during the marriage belongs to both the husband and the wife.
He added that properties acquired or inherited by the man or woman before the marriage are not eligible to be shared upon divorce.
The lawyer also said that one does not need to contribute financially before being eligible to share a property gained in case of a divorce.
"Contribution does not neccesarily demand that your partner makes financial contribution. Even if there no was financial contribution but then your partner gave in emotioal support or gave you food, protected the house and took care of the kids, all these amount to contribition and once all these are in existence your partner has contributed,” he said.
At the time of writing the report, the video had gained over 9000 likes and 300 comments.
