17- Year- old Girl Describes What Happened After She And Her Boyfriend Made A Blood Covenant

Bema, a young girl from Fenase, met her lover Kwaku Dwumfuor while visiting her sister- in- law. He vowed to marry her and assist her in obtaining a brighter future while remaining in the same house. Bema accepted Kwaku’ s proposal and proceeded to live with him because of his promise. Every morning, he would pay her GHC10 to buy food and provide her with whatever she needed.

Six months after meeting her partner, the young girl became pregnant at the age of sixteen. Kwaku’ s attitude toward her shifted, and he began pursuing several women in town, getting home late every night. Bema then chooses another man who would take care of her pregnancy. She rekindled her connection with Tigyani, a man from their neighborhood.

Tigyani noticed the young girl was pregnant a month later, but she had lied to him and he was to blame for the pregnancy. Dwumfour later came back to beg the girl’ s mother to just let him take responsibility. As a result, Bema returned to Dwumfour’ s dwelling.

She underwent surgery during delivery, but the boyfriend didn’ t pay for the healthcare expenses. Her mother is also the one who paid the charges in the sum of GHC1, 500 before she could be discharged.
