Mention and explain five difference between ordinance and Islamic marriage

Here are five differences between ordinance and Islamic marriage in Ghana: 1. Number of Spouses Ordinance Marriage: This is strictly monogamous*, meaning one man can only be married to one woman at any given time. Islamic Marriage: This permits polygyny*, allowing a man to marry up to four wives, provided he can treat them equitably. 2. Governing Law Ordinance Marriage: It is governed by the Marriage Act (Cap 127)*, which is based on English common law and civil statutes. Islamic Marriage: It is governed by Islamic personal law (Sharia)*, which dictates its rules and practices. 3. Solemnization Authority Ordinance Marriage: It is solemnized by a Registrar of Marriages at a civil registry or by a licensed minister* in a recognized church. Islamic Marriage: It is solemnized by an Imam* or an authorized Islamic cleric according to Islamic rites. 4. Dissolution Process Ordinance Marriage: Dissolution requires a formal divorce decree* issued by a civil court. Islamic Marriage: Dissolution can occur through Islamic procedures such as talaq (initiated by the husband) or khula* (initiated by the wife), which are then recognized by the state. 5. Nature of Contract Ordinance Marriage: It is primarily a civil contract* that gains legal validity through state registration. Islamic Marriage: It is primarily a religious contract* that is also recognized by the state, with the religious ceremony being the core act. 3 done, 2 left today. You're making progress.
