By Court - Judgment Having read the Pleadings filed by the Parties herein; Having read the witness statement of the Parties and duly considered Exhibit A (the Parties Marriage Certificate); And having given due consideration to all the evidence on record, I am of the considered opinion that the following facts are established per the evidence on record; 1.

The fact that the Petitioner has committed adultery as evidenced by her pregnancy for which the Respondent is not responsible. 3. The fact that the Parties have irreconcilable differences, Upon the above facts and in light of Section 2 (1) (a) , (d) and (f) of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1971 (Act 367). I find and hold that the Ordinance Marriage celebrated between the Parties on the 14th day of September 2017 at Teshie – Nungua has broken down beyond reconciliation. I accordingly dissolve the said Ordinance Marriage this 18th day of November 2022. The Registrar of this court shall issue to the Parties a Divorce Certificate after canceling their Marriage Certificate (Exhibit A). I make no award as to cost.
