Marriage is Not an Investment”: Judge slashes divorce financial claim from GHC50m to GHC300,000 to RNQ’s wife

Marriage is Not an Investment”: Judge slashes divorce financial claim from GHC50m to GHC300,000

In a divorce case between Mrs Joana Quaye and businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye, the petitioner demanded GHC50 million in financial settlement.

High Court Judge Justin Kofi Dorgu rejected the huge claim, stating that marriage is not an investment and such a return would be unrealistic.

He noted that the petitioner had already received a one-third share of the matrimonial home, the respondent was ordered to cover the children’s education and health needs, and she is now gainfully employed in the same business line.

The judge awarded her GHC300,000 to discourage divorces filed in expectation of large financial gains.
