Former Communications Minister, Edward Omane-Boamah has called on Ghanaians to stop pressurising young adults into marriage as he believes by so doing, it leads many into undesirable relationships which have ultimately had devastating effects on their mental health.
According to him, it’s about time society puts desist from such acts especially on females into marriages since it has caused many their mental health.
His reaction comes as he dived into mental health cases that are rising in the country, especially among the youth.
“Are you married? When are you marrying? You need to give birth now because your biological clock is speeding…”
The above sentiments have pushed many ladies and gentlemen into unmerited relationships which eventually breed abuse ( emotional and or physical), pain, agony, conflict, divorce and devastation.
Helloooooooo society!
Stop these questions and suggestions you offer, particularly to young adult females.
You end up devastating their mental health in ways you cannot imagine, for quality ‘health is not the mere absence of disease but complete well-being of the mind’ as well,” he advised.
