MRS AYODELE TOKUNBO ANTHONY vs. CHURCHIL DUSE-ANTHONY

The parties met in the United Kingdom in 2003, later relocated to Ghana, and purported to contract a customary marriage on 20 November 2007, which was subsequently registered. It was undisputed that at the time of that marriage the respondent/wife was still married to another man, rendering the marriage void. The parties cohabited at House No. A1, Emefs Estate, Community 25, Tema. The indenture to that property bore both their names. After the relationship broke down, the woman petitioned for divorce/nullity and a dispute arose over whether the Tema property was jointly owned or solely acquired by the man. Portion of judgment: “The indenture of the property bears the names of both parties.” Also: “the respondent’s case is simply that H/No. A1, Emef's Estate... is jointly owned by both parties...” and “The appellant’s case is that he solely acquired the property in issue...”
