January 1960 - Do We Marry To Late? - Miss De Graft Johson The Girls Stand a Good Chance Of Getting Married. They Are In No Hurry. They Are Ambtious, prefer waiting a little longer. Fifty years or so ago practically every young Ghanaian woman was sure of marriage. But to-day we have many healthy young women- children of women married 20 to 30 years ago- who are doomed to a life without wedding bells. And not only because fewer men are marrying more than one wife. But because, as the jazz tune says, Things ain't what they used to be. Marriage is no longer the simple matter of a girl being healthy and of the right age. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
