Marriage is a fundamental institution that serves as the bedrock of society. It plays a crucial role in shaping the social, economic, and cultural fabric of our communities. In Ghana, the institution of marriage is deeply intertwined with traditional customs, legal frameworks, and religious practices. However, the evolving dynamics of modern society necessitate a re-examination of marriage governance to ensure it remains robust, inclusive, and equitable.

The Marriage Governance Conference aims to bring together a wide range of interested parties for a thought-provoking discussion on the present and future of marital governance in Ghana. Through the participation of representatives from academia, civil society, government, judiciary, traditional and religious organisations, and development partners, this conference aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the prospects and problems in this crucial field.

We warmly invite all interested parties to the Marriage Governance Conference. Your involvement and contributions are essential to this initiative’s success. By working together, we can establish a framework for marital governance that honours our customs, enforces the law, and advances the welfare of all Ghanaian people and families.

The 2025 Marriage Governance Conference, organized by MarryRight, aims to bring together key stakeholders and experts to discuss and develop effective strategies for marriage governance.

This year’s theme, “Legal Love, Recognized Rights: Rethinking Marriage Governance for a Future of Accountability, Digital Inclusion, and Cultural Harmony” emphasizes the importance of joint efforts in creating sustainable marriage policies and practices. This event will feature in-depth presentations and engaging panel discussions.

Join us for this crucial discussion aimed at bolstering Ghana’s marital governance framework. Together, we can create a society that is more harmonious, egalitarian, and inclusive.
