TV Presenter-Gifty Anti and Nana Ansah Kwao of Joy Fm finally got married today at Aburi in Eastern Region—and the ceremony was colorful with tradition well represented.
Gifty Anti who is 45 years old’s marriage has become the talk of Ghana—with some saying, her antics leading to the marriage is a backtrack on her widely championed belief that marriage should not be ultimate in a woman’s life.
GhanaCelebrities.Com’s resident writer-Edith Osei Bonsu in an excellent piece published a few hours ago argued that: Though her [Gifty Anti] life and work are obvious testimony that a woman can even break the glass ceiling without a husband pushing her, her recent antics which is a clear backtracking of everything I admired about her in relation to marriage is pathetic and scary.
I am not saying she should not have gotten married, because that is not the point of the argument—being married does not mean you cannot still hold the belief that women are valuable independent of men.
I am a married woman and having married for over 6 years, I believe I have a lot of experience in this area—far more than Gifty Anti who is about to join the boat. And yet, I share in the conception that marriage does not define a woman or it’s not the deal breaker for women.
