Answer:
Because Ghana still preserves some archaic patriarchal concepts.
Explanation:
The most common wedding in Ghana is called Traditional Wedding. In this type of wedding, the groom's family must pay a sum of money to the bride's family. This amount is called the bride's price and is paid because Ghana maintains archaic patriarchal concepts that ensure that women are limited to domestic services. By paying the bride's price, the groom's family is compensating the bride's family for the lack of her services and for all the expenses used for her food, health and education while she was single and dependent on her parents.
