A widow is asking the Accra High Court to stop a family head from denying her access to her late husband's home following his death.
In a writ filed by Dianah Asafu Adjei, the widow and plaintiff, against Abusuapayin Osei Tutu of Daaban, Kumasi, she is requesting the court's assistance to allow her to participate in the funeral rites of her late husband, Engineer Elvis Asafu Adjei Boamah, also known as Osei Kwame Asaf.
The widow is also requesting the court to order Abusuapayin Osei Tutu, the defendant, to leave her matrimonial home and grant her uninterrupted access, as a surviving spouse married to the deceased for over 50 years.
Madam Adjei is seeking a permanent injunction to prevent the defendant from interfering with her occupation of the home, performing her widow rites, and treating her in a way that may undermine her interests as the deceased's widow.
