1.0. Introduction
Marriage, is a contract entered into by 2 (two) persons, and in Ghana a marriage
may only be entered into between a man and a woman 1 . In a society such as
Ghana, where family ties are revered and community values hold significant
sway, the notion of entering into a legal contract before marriage may be seen as
an indication of lack of trust and in some cases unacceptable by some.
However, as Ghana continues to embrace globalization, a constitutional
government and economic evolution, the dynamics of relationships and
matrimonial arrangements are evolving as well. One question therefore looms
large; are nuptial agreements, commonly referred to as ‘pre-nuptial agreements’
or ‘post-nuptial agreements’, valid and binding in Ghana?.
