Akoto Ampaw, a private legal practitioner, has said that adultery is destroying more homes than the harm LGBTQ+ has done in the country.
Mr. Ampaw said this on Thursday when he appeared before the Parliamentary Committee hearing petitions on the Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill 2021.
“Do you note that adultery and the impregnation of teenagers by heterosexual males constitute a far graver threat to the family as a unit?”
“This is undeniable. Indeed, the idea in the Bill that the family is a lifelong relationship or unit is contradicted by the persistent and regular divorces that are lawful under the laws of Ghana,” he said.
He explained that adultery and the impregnation of teenagers, even though being the gravest of threats to the family system, have been allowed to fester and normalize with no action from legislators to check, especially the impregnation of teenagers.
