Watch as Ghanaian woman in UK abuse and calls police on husband over chop money

A Ghanaian woman is at the centre of online controversy after reportedly calling the police on her husband for refusing to give her £1,500. The incident, which allegedly took place abroad, has sparked widespread debate about financial expectations in African marriages, especially among couples living in the diaspora.

The situation has drawn strong reactions on social media, with many people weighing in on how relocating overseas can affect traditional relationship dynamics. Some users, particularly men, expressed concerns about how financial expectations change once couples settle abroad. They argued that women often expect more financial support in environments where living costs are higher — and when those expectations are unmet, tension builds.

Others highlighted the impact of Western systems on relationships, saying that financial independence and access to legal protections can alter power dynamics, especially for women who were previously more dependent on their partners.

A number of comments also pointed to a rising fear among African men abroad — the fear of their wives using law enforcement or legal systems to settle personal or domestic disputes. In some cases, this has reportedly led to deportation threats or the breakdown of marriages.

While many condemned the woman’s decision to involve the police over a financial disagreement, others noted that issues like these should be resolved privately between partners. They stressed that calling law enforcement over money issues could escalate matters unnecessarily and damage the marriage beyond repair.

The story has opened up a broader conversation about how African couples adapt to life in the diaspora, and the importance of clear communication and mutual understanding when it comes to finances and responsibilities.
