Ghanaian police protect 12-year-old bride married to traditional high priest.
The wedding sparked public outrage after footage circulated on social media.
Despite claims that it was only ceremonial, the marriage violates Ghana’s legal minimum marriage age of 18.
The girl is now under police protection, and authorities are investigating.
The incident highlights ongoing challenges with child marriage in Ghana, with civil society groups condemning the practice.
The case also sheds light on cultural traditions and the role of influential community leaders in perpetuating such practices.
