The court emphasised that foreign laws do not apply in Ghana, and the legalisation of such acts in other countries does not necessitate their legalisation in Ghana. The court further stated that adopting foreign laws that are alien to Ghanaian values is inappropriate. The court held that laws lose their utility if they merely transport foreign cultural values and ideas without any foundation in the local legal system. The court upheld Section 104 (1) (b) of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), which criminalises unnatural carnal knowledge, ruling that it does not violate the 1992 Constitution. According to this judgement, any form of sexual intercourse that does not involve penetration with a penis into a woman's vagina remains a crime punishable by law.
