Women have been urged not to allow unnecessary pressures from society to prevent them from quitting abusive and bad marriages.
Describing domestic violence in marriage as barbaric, unfortunate and unacceptable in the Ghanaian society, Nana Anima Ahwenepa, the Queen-mother of Dwenase indicated divorce remained the best option for victims of abusive marriages.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Dwenase near Bomaa in the Tano North Municipality of the Ahafo Region, the Queen-mother said domestic violence was the worst form of human rights abuse and women must not be allowed to go through such physical and mental torture in marriage.
