Ghana rejects bill granting inheritance rights to cohabiting partners due to MP concerns over favoring "side chicks."

Ghana's Attorney-General explained that a bill aiming to grant inheritance rights to cohabiting partners was rejected due to opposition from 20 female MPs. These MPs feared the bill would unfairly benefit extramarital partners, allowing them to inherit properties from deceased spouses. Despite the bill's aim to align with the Constitution, it was shot down over concerns it favored "side chicks."
