Ghana gets app to check marriage, divorce status

Ghana has launched an online platform called Marrify, which allows the public to verify marriage and divorce records, as well as check marriage officers, venues, and licensed Imams. The platform, launched by Marry Right Ghana Limited in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, operates as a searchable marriage and divorce registry, covering ordinance, customary, and Islamic marriages.

Users can search the platform using various details such as names, spouse names, towns, churches, denominations, certificate numbers, and Gazette numbers. The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, encouraged Ghanaians to verify information about their partners, marriage venues, and officiants to ensure they are making informed decisions.
