Officials of the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Police have ended the drama over the Ablekuma forced marriage.
The Police stormed the house and picked up everybody – the man in the centre of the controversial marriage, her 13-year-old wife and the runaway elder sister, their mother and father.
The 13-year-old school girl was forced to marry a 25-year-old man originally scheduled to marry her 18-year-old elder sister.
The older girl had refused to marry the man and run away on the day of the marriage.
In her place however, her 13-year-old sister was forced to marry the man at a matrimonial ceremony held at Ablekuma in Accra.
But in a dramatic turn of events, the police have invited all parties involved in the case to assist in investigations.
Following the report DOVVSU registered their displeasure on the forced marriage of the 13-year-old girl to Joy News. They stated it was against the law for the parents to force the 13-year-old girl into the marriage.
The Unit then promised to look into the matter and bring offenders of the law to book.
