A man is seeking a divorce from his Ghanaian-Canadian wife just one month after their marriage. The couple, who met through social media, had fallen in love and decided to marry when the woman returned to Ghana from Canada.
The man shared his concerns during a counselling session with Pastor Prince Elisha Kofi Osei, where he expressed his disappointment over the situation.
He revealed that he had hoped the marriage would allow him to obtain travel documents and resettle in Canada with his wife. However, his plans had been thwarted, as his wife refused to return to Canada, stating that she intends to settle permanently in Ghana.
“We had several online conversations, and she never mentioned that she wanted to stay in Ghana. I thought we were getting married so she could help me get my papers and join her in Canada,” the man said.
“But as of now she claims she wants to stay in Ghana but for me, if she is not ready to go back then we have to divorce,” he added.
According to him, his family and close friends are aware of the wife’s residency in Canada, and her refusal to return has made him uncomfortable.
On her part, the wife explained that her decision to stay in Ghana was influenced by her desire to raise her children in the country for proper moral standards.
She also mentioned that she had saved money to start a business in Ghana and encouraged her husband to stay.
“After one month of marriage, my husband is saying he won’t marry me anymore because I told him I want to stay in Ghana and not return to Canada. I am here to seek advice to know if I am wrong in any way,” the woman shared during the session.
