Qualitative interviews explore the interface of legal systems affecting family matters, indicating challenges and implications for equality.
Customary law in Ghana plays a significant role in family matters, often alongside statutory laws established by the government. Interviews with legal practitioners and community leaders were conducted to gather insights into current practices and challenges. The interface between these legal systems is complex and context-dependent, with implications for gender equality and social cohesion in Ghanaian families. Legal education programmes should include an understanding of both customary and statutory laws to promote informed decision-making by individuals and communities.
