Marry Right Ghana, in partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, has launched Marrify, an app for marriage verification.
Marrify lets users verify a prospective partner’s marital status by querying official records from the Registrar-General’s Department, courts, and Ghana Gazette.
The app, developed by Marry Right Ghana, allows checking if venues, churches, pastors, and Imams are licensed to perform marriages.
Reports suggest the app was launched on August 28, 2026, in Accra.
The initiative aims to reduce emotional, financial, and legal risks in marriages, as shown in the video of the event and app demonstrations.
Parts of a graphic news article disclosed, “The initiative is to help individuals carry out important checks before entering into a marriage and avoid the emotional, financial and legal complications that may arise when critical information about a prospective partner is not properly verified.
Beyond checking a prospective partner’s marital status, the Marrify app is a publicly searchable platform that enables the public to verify whether marriage venues, churches, pastors and Imams are duly licensed and registered to conduct marriages in Ghana.
The move is to promote greater transparency and accountability in marriage administration while helping prospective couples make more informed decisions before committing to marriage”.
Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, the Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, speaking at the launch, commended Marry Right Ghana for introducing an initiative aimed at strengthening transparency, accountability and public confidence in marriage administration.
The Gender Minister emphasised that marriage extends beyond a legal union, highlighting its social, cultural and economic significance for individuals, children, families and communities.
In other news, Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith-Arthur, a High Court Judge in Kumasi, has stated that the act of Ghanaian couples conducting both customary and ordinance marriages waste of time and resources.
The High Court Judge explained that under Ghanaian law, the two marriage types are independently valid and legally recognised.
According to Her Ladyship, Dorinda Smith-Arthur, the performance of both ceremonies at the same time is unnecessary.
The High Court made this comment while presiding over a case filed by Akosua Serwaa Fosuh, who is seeking the court to declare her as the only lawful surviving spouse of the late Daddy Lumba.
