Is there a rule of thumb for getting married at a certain age?<\/p>\n

Most young Ghanaian women are pressured by their family, friends and the society at large to get married when they are in their late 20’s. The pressure usually leads to most of these women hastily getting into relationships that later do not necessarily make them happy.<\/p>\n
