AWLA urges Parliament to reform Ghana’s spousal property laws after years of legal uncertainty

The African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA) has renewed calls for urgent reforms to Ghana’s spousal property laws, warning that decades of legislative inaction continue to create uncertainty and injustice for many families. Speaking at a press conference, the association said Parliament has failed to fully implement Article 22 of the 1992 Constitution, which directs lawmakers to enact legislation regulating the property rights of spouses.
