Final decision in marriage must rest with couple, not family - Kweku Frimpong

Kweku Frimpong says that the final decision in marriage must rest with the couple, not the family. Speaking on The Brotherhood Show on Joy Prime, Kweku Frimpong explained, "In African culture, marriage is about family - you need family support in marriage. So if they are backing off, who are you taking there to support you? First of all, it means you are nullified." He said losing family support should make any man "think twice," but opposition must be based on valid reasons.

Mr. Frimpong argued that marriage has evolved from a family contract to a personal decision. He stated, "Everything is evolving. I believe marriage is between two people, irrespective of what family members say," citing failed arranged marriages as proof that parental choice does not guarantee success. He urged parents to advise rather than condemn, especially over appearance. He referenced a case where "a mother disagreed with a relationship because the lady had an anklet on."

Mr. Frimpong concluded with his personal stance: "I have found my love. They wouldn't know her better than me. I have studied her. I'm mature enough to know what I want. I would go with my girl with my conscience."
