Married men in Ghana risk serving a two-year jail sentence if they refuse to eat food prepared by their wives as it amounts to an offence under the country’s domestic violence laws.
The Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) wants married women to report husbands who refuse to eat their food so they would be punished under the Domestic Violence Act 732 of 2007.
Other offenses punishable under the Act include husbands making their wives unhappy, causing them emotional pain and coming home late.
