In Ghana, a person cannot be married under both customary law and the Ordinance at the same time. A subsisting customary marriage renders any later Ordinance marriage void, and may even amount to bigamy under the Criminal Offences Act.

This guide explains how the law works, detailing who inherits, the formula for sharing self-acquired property, and common challenges like property disputes. The key takeaway is that while PNDCL 111 provides a fair safety net, creating a will is the best way to control your estate.
