Quit abusive marriages and relationships; it’s not a sign of love – Kwabena Kwabena advises women

In a society where relationships are often tangled in societal expectations and norms, renowned Ghanaian musician, George Kwabena Adu, professionally known as Kwabena Kwabena has urged women to liberate themselves from abusive marriages. 

With a poignant reminder that enduring abuse is not a testament to love, Kwabena Kwabena advocates for the empowerment of women to break free from toxic relationships. 

According to the ‘Aso’ hitmaker, ladies should not hesitate to leave a relationship if their man assaults them or even attempts to assault them. He emphasized that women should not tolerate any form of physical abuse from their partners, as that is not a sign of love.

He made this statement while speaking in an exclusive interview with Nana Romeo on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo on Wednesday, February 7, 2024.

If someone who says he loves you physically abuses you, that is not love. The moment your man lifts his hand to hit you, please leave such a relationship. Even if you are married, if your husband beats you, pack your bags and go back to your father’s house,” he said 

The highlife legend to a greater extent averred that he would also not tolerate any form of abuse meted out to his daughter if she got into a relationship. He also condemned men who engage in any form of domestic violence, saying that they “have to bow down their heads in shame.”

“If my daughter is getting married, I will tell her husband one thing: he either takes care of her or leaves her alone. The moment I hear that she is going through abuse, I would personally go and pick her up from her husband’s house and bring her home,” he added.
