Text and photo's: Nana Kofi Acquah in Accra, Ghana
Getting a wife is one of the most notable achievements an African man can clock. This is not because women are scarce but rather because marriages are expensive. I have heard too many African young men joke about how they will like to get married in India because there, it is the woman who pays the dowry.
After the whole dowry hurdle has been crossed, which could be anything from houses to cows to dozens of Dutch Wax Prints to Cartons of Schnapps, most couples would love to ice their marriage with a church wedding. Could this be Africa’s cure for polygamy?
