Abstract
The interface between customary law and statutory law in Ghanaian family matters is complex and multifaceted, reflecting a blend of traditional practices with modern legal frameworks. Theoretical analysis will be employed to explore existing legal texts, court decisions, and academic literature related to family law in Ghana. The theoretical framework will provide a structured understanding of how customary and statutory laws coexist and interact within Ghanaian family law contexts. Future research should consider empirical studies to validate these theoretical insights and explore potential policy implications for harmonizing the two systems.
