You have to first impregnate my daughter before you can marry her — Presidential Candidate

Kofi Akpaloo




The founder and presidential candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana, Kofi Akpaloo, has stated his requirement for his daughters potential suitors.

In a recent interview with Accra-based Kingdom FM, Akpaloo revealed that he does not intend to give his daughter out in marriage if she hasnt been impregnated, GhanaWeb reports.

His condition is reportedly meant to test the mans potency and commitment to his daughter.

He believes that impregnating his daughter will demonstrate the suitors seriousness and ability to take care of her.

For my daughter, you have to impregnate her before I give her to you for marriage. I cannot make her go through the struggles with childbirth, so I will gauge your seriousness as a man only when you impregnate her, GhanaWeb quoted Akpaloo as saying.

Fact is, I will even want her to get pregnant and give birth before she is given out to the man for marriage, he added.

Akpaloo was said to have clarified that this is his personal philosophy and not a requirement for others.

He reportedly added that a man should be married by the age of 27.

He was quoted as saying, At age 27, you should be settled with the woman you want to marry and start making children. What happens is that if you can marry at 27, you can plan your life better.

If you dont marry early, you will be on retirement and still be taking care of your last child, which should not be the case.

Sometimes people think about money, but when you have a woman in your life, your brain becomes sharp and you are forced to work to ensure that youll be able to provide for the family. (Courtesy, excluding headline, The PUNCH)
