The P & P reports that a taxi driver at Asylum Down in Accra, was so shocked and shattered that he fled his residence learning that his wife, with whom he has been married for about three years now, has another husband back in her hometown, with two children.
The paper in an inside page story, says the woman, who is now found to be about three months pregnant, has been given two options – either to follow her first husband home to Kenyasi in the Ashanti Region or stay in Accra without a husband at all.
According to the P & P, the woman, Joyce Krampa, a 29-year-old seamstress, bumped into her first husband at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle in Accra on September 8, this year and ‘ignorantly’ led him home to show him her house. The paper says the first husband, Yaw Addo, a 46-year-old brick layer spent some few minutes and left the house without uttering a word only to return the next evening to cause trouble. He is reported to have flared up when Joyce introduced him to the landlady and her co-tenants as her ex-husband.
He is said to have told Joyce that he blankly that he was coming to spend the night with her since she was still his wife. According to him the marriage has not yet been annulled and dared Joyce’s second husband, Kwesi Dankyi, a driver, ‘to say something’.
The paper says it took the landlady, Madam Sylvia Amoa and friends three ‘hectic’ hours to resolve the controversy amicably.
Kwesi Dankyi, the P & P says nearly collapsed when he heard his rival’s story that Joyce with whom he had been legally married, left him about four years ago and all efforts to trace her had proved futile. According to Kwasi Dankyi, he had also gone to Kenyasi to perform marriage rites to Joyce’s parents. He said Joyce never told him that she had children or ever married.
