Private legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has issued a stern warning to married women against commercializing sex within their marriages, stating that such practices are illegal and could lead to legal consequences. Speaking in an interview on GTV on January 4, 2025, Ampaw emphasized that men have the right to take their wives to court and seek divorce if they demand money or material goods in exchange for sex.
Ampaw argued that sexual satisfaction is a fundamental right in marriage, and denying a spouse sex without just cause is unreasonable. He expressed concern over the growing trend of married women using social media to set conditions for intimacy, such as demanding expensive gifts like iPhones before agreeing to sex.
“In marriage, couples have the right to sexual satisfaction. Your man has the right to have access to your body, and the woman has the same right. Denying your partner sex is unreasonable. These days, some married women are commercializing sex, demanding gifts or money before intimacy. This is illegal, and men have the right to take their wives to court and seek divorce,” Ampaw stated.
The lawyer also made controversial claims about oral sex, asserting that it is illegal under Ghanaian law. He called on President John Dramani Mahama to approve the anti-LGBTQ bill to ensure that individuals who violate the law are punished.
“The law states that sex is about a man penetrating, so oral sex is illegal in Ghana. Those who engage in such acts are breaking the law,” Ampaw declared. He cited a case involving the wife of a clergyman who sought divorce after her husband insisted on oral sex for seven years, which she found unacceptable. The case, he said, highlighted the need for clarity on what constitutes legal sexual conduct within marriage.
Ampaw’s comments have sparked debate about the boundaries of intimacy in marriage and the role of the law in regulating private relationships. While some have supported his stance on the commercialization of sex, others have criticized his views on oral sex as outdated and intrusive.
As the conversation continues, Ampaw’s remarks have drawn attention to the evolving dynamics of marriage and the legal implications of intimate relationships in Ghana.
