A judge at the Court of Appeal, Justice Alexander Osei Tutu has advised individuals preparing for marriage to protect their private property interests.
Speaking on JoyNews' The Law, Justice Tutu warned that couples often overlook the potential consequences of property ownership and distribution due to the excitement and emotions involved in marriage preparations.
"It's a normal thing for people to overlook the consequences when they are preparing to marry because, at that stage, they will be blinded by the love," he noted.
Justice Tutu emphasised that marriage is not solely a spiritual union but also involves significant social and legal implications.
As such, he advised that couples must be aware of the potential outcomes related to property acquisition and distribution in the event of divorce or the death of a spouse.
Justice Tutu highlighted the importance of understanding the legal ramifications of property ownership within marriage.
He urged soon-to-be-married couples to educate themselves on how their assets would be handled in case the marriage ends or one partner passes away.
"It's very necessary for would-be couples to know the consequences about their properties when it comes to divorce or maybe death," he stated.
Justice Tutu will be one of the speakers at the much anticipated Marriage Governance Conference 2024, which is being organised by MarryRight Ghana Limited.
He will be speaking on the topic 'How Do You Protect Your Private Property In Marriage'.
The event will come off on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at the British Council from 9 am to 3 pm.
