If You Want A Responsible Husband For Your Daughter – Then Don’t Accept Men From These Regions
Back in the days parents were the only traditionally accepted individuals who could go behind the grossly tag and find respectable, responsible and hardworking ladies for their sons but in today’s modern day and dynamic world, the narratives have changed.
When it comes to choosing a responsible man for a daughter, it only comes with an attempt from the man’s family be it his father or uncle who will accompany the man with a schnapps according to Akan traditions and customs to officially announce their interest in a lady.
With this first attempt that mostly came with an approval of the daughter, the father of the lady will send his wife to call their daughter whose consent is highly respected in this regard.
Oftener than not parents are in the state of dilemma when it comes to accepting a responsible, God-fearing and well-t-do man for be it a daughter who is of age.
Some parents who care mostly the father and it occasional situations a ‘tough’ mother will question the responsibility of the man who has approached their daughter and it gets the ugly turn as they stand at the greater chance of saying ‘no’ to the proposal if they are not in support of the proposal.
With this if the proposal even meets the consent of the lady the parent can stand in and prevent the marriage from [progressing to the next state of the rite.
Modernization came in and it took the center state paving way for Western lifestyle to be adapted in the contemporary world of ours.
Today, two grown adults who seem tied with the tide that binds can even go on and marry through the Municipal Assembly Registration center as Wedding Certificates turns the holly matrimony into a contract.
With the hustle and tussle that comes with the hard economic and high cost of living that exist in some of the sixteen (16) regions across Ghana, I will never advice parents to easily accept men who from these listed regions and I will entreat parents not to easily accept men who comes for a hand in marriage of their daughters provided they comes or live in one of these regions.
The list includes:
1. Greater Accra Region
The Greater Accra Region remains the most populated region per the statistical service report concluded on the basis of the though it is noted as the region with the smallest area out of the sixteen (16) regions of Ghana.
Noted for its name of the map as the Region with the capital town of Ghana thus Accra, the region is dominated by people from all over the sixteen (16) regions of Ghana and it’s also known as the most urbanized region.
Due to this the cost of living in the said region is very high making life and living it in this region something not easy to cope with more importantly when one is unemployed. So as the saying goes, nothing is done or giving in Accra for free, I will never advise any man to give his daughter out for marriage to a man from this region is soon to be bride is not employed and ready to put certificate aside and hustle.
2. Ashanti Region
Known for its Garden City, the Ashanti Region of Ghana remains One of the most populated regions out of the sixteen (16) region in the country and it is marked won the international front as it is known for its rich traditions and customs coupled by the great heritage that surrounds the King of Kings; Nana Otumfuo Osei Tutu II who is the king of the Great Ashanti Kingdom.
Men from this region are mostly hard-working and hate to build a great responsibility tag from their extended family making them responsible and hardworking due to the response and calls they mostly receive from their extended family.
It can be noted from the Ashanti’s that men from this region do not play with their sisters at all since they are with they believe that women makes up a family and if their extended family thus if their family name will last longer on earth than it is the children of their sisters that will occupy their traditional homes as they due for the fact that the Ashanti are of the belief that between a mother and father, the father is a stranger and do not own the children but the mother does.
This is the reason why uncles (brother of a woman’s children) do not joke with the children of his sisters because he is of the belief that their sisters children mostly the female ones are those will make the families name and heritage lingers on.
Before you allow your daughter to marry a man from this region or moreover a man who is an Ashanti, advise her to build a strong tide with her husband-to-be’s sisters since they can make and unmake the marriage. I say this from my wit and twenty-seven (27) years experience.
3. The Volta Region
“Efo will definitely marry another woman from his tribe even if he marries three or more outside his tribe”. I don’t say this from hear say but I do say this from my long star in the Volta Region for over twelve (12) years. I will tell you why this saying is not a myth or an adage shared by the Akan’s for saying’s sake.
From a possible number of Ewe men that I spoke to on this said matter before proceeding to write this piece also gave me a clear reason as to why men from this region sees the need to marry someone from their home.
This also brought to my knowledge that the Ashanti’s adage that say that “If the vulture from your home eats your meat, kit will definitely leave you some to enjoy”. With this they mean that when you marry a woman from your home or tribe, she might in one way or the other have mercy on you for one way or the other.
This proverb is highly employed by men from this adage as they hold the view that they need someone who can also gives them pride and linger on with their tradition back home.
A man’s name and respect is highly significant and lauded when they can trace a man’s child from their tribe.
So if you are a parent and wish to give your daughter out to an Ewe man don’t be surprise to see the man marrying another wife from his tribe. If you knew your daughter hasn’t got the heart and mind to welcome a second wife to their home then she shouldn’t go in the holy matrimony with him.
4. The Five Northern Region
Being married to a Northerner though I am an Ashanti, I give respect to my brother in-laws from this part of the country and I love their sense of sincerity, with this I mean men from this region are not cowards, and they stand for the truth no matter what.
When you know your wife is not truthful to herself and cannot stay with just one man after marriage then please advise her not to go in for marriage with men from this region because it’s highly prohibited for a woman married to a man from this region to cheat on her husband. It can even result in death of your daughter because of their traditions and customs.
