Kamal Samgbe Speaks on Failed Marriages and Why He Will Never Marry Abroad
Kamal Samgbe recently appeared on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Worldwide Show with DJ Nyaami, where he shared his personal experiences with marriage and life abroad.
According to him, his first marriage in Ghana ended after he invested in his wife’s property and eventually had to let it go. He later married again, but that relationship also failed. After two unsuccessful attempts, Kamal has resolved never to marry again.
Kamal explained that living abroad exposed him to many situations that shaped his decision. He recounted how some foreign women (“akatafo”) mistreat their husbands, even controlling homes regardless of their wrongdoings. He gave an example of a man who brought his wife from Africa, only for her to cheat. When the issue was reported, the authorities asked the man to leave the house while the wife remained in control.
He believes the system abroad diminishes men and gives women too much power. “If you divorce here, you risk losing or splitting your property 50/50. That’s why many men suffer,” he said. He further argued that court marriages are structured to favor women, unlike traditional marriages in Ghana, which unite families.
Kamal added that children raised abroad often lack proper upbringing and cultural grounding, unlike in Ghana where traditions and discipline are emphasized. He also criticized how some women abroad keep their earnings for themselves while their husbands shoulder all financial responsibilities, leaving men powerless in their own homes.
He strongly advised men to protect themselves by avoiding court marriages and even suggested registering properties in their mothers’ names to prevent losses. “Many women have sent their husbands to prison through the court system. If a woman insists on court marriage, I end the relationship immediately,” he stated.
Kamal concluded by emphasizing that he will only marry a woman in Ghana, one who has not been influenced by what he calls the “negative privileges” given to women abroad.
