A "desperate wife", Nana Afia Nyarko’s marriage is in limbo as all efforts to set eyes on her husband of six years have proven abortive.
The Kumasi-based woman engaged in a marriage in absentia with a Ghanaian domiciled in the United Kingdom with the assurance of joining him after a period.
However, six years have passed and she still does not know what her husband truly looks like except for some photos she has seen of him.
Narrating her predicament in the studios of Nhyira FM during the Obra Show, 64-year-old Nana Akua said that her friend, who is also her husband's sister, proposed the marriage on behalf of her brother.
She noted that she had stayed single for 10 years after her husband passed and he now husband was also a divorcee and this he I agreed to the proposal.
According to Nana Akua, she had faith and admiration for her friend and thought her brother will possess same character, but the reverse is the case.
She explained that after some conversations with the UK 'borga' he promised to take care of her and make available documents for her to travel if she helped him win the court case against his ex-wife.
Nana Akua stuck to her part of the agreement and helped him win the case, but years on, her husband is still full of excuses whenever the issue of staying together is raised.
In their six years of marriage, Nana Akua said they have never consummated, and the most she has enjoyed from her husband is their international calls.
All efforts to have him move her from her single room to a well-furnished matrimonial home have also proven futile.
For a ‘borga’ who works with an engineering company, the aggrieved wife stated she expected some financial commitments beyond the GH₵150 monthly upkeep he sends.
Due to the breach of marital agreement, Nana Akua wants to opt out, but the ‘borga’ and his family have refused to meet her demands.
