A businessman in his 60s must pay GHC200,000 in compensation. The Accra Circuit Court made this order today, February 16, 2026. This payment is for breaching a promise to marry his former lover.
The court case began as an attempt by the businessman to evict the woman. He filed a suit to remove her from his property.
However, during the court proceedings, evidence emerged of a promise of marriage. The businessman had reportedly promised to marry the woman.
The court found that this promise was not kept. The judge ruled in favor of the woman, granting her compensation.
This case highlights the legal consequences of unfulfilled promises in relationships. Courts can intervene when such agreements are broken.
