A judge at the Court of Appeal, Justice Alexander Osei Tutu has advised individuals preparing for marriage to protect their private property interests. Speaking on JoyNews' The Law, Justice Tutu warned that couples often overlook the potential consequences of property ownership and distribution due to the excitement and emotions involved in marriage preparations. "It's a normal thing for people to overlook the consequences when they are preparing to marry because, at that stage, they will be blinded by the love," he noted. Justice Tutu emphasised that marriage is not solely a spiritual union but also involves significant social and legal implications. As such, he advised that couples must be aware of the potential outcomes related to property acquisition and distribution in the event of divorce or the death of a spouse. Justice Tutu highlighted the importance of understanding the legal ramifications of property ownership within marriage.
