Arts and CultureAbstract
The Anlo Ewe are a sub-group of the Ewe people of approximately 6 million people, inhabiting southern Togo, Southern Benin, Southwest Nigeria, and South-eastern parts of the Volta Region of Ghana; meanwhile, a majority of Ewe are located in the entire southern half of Togo and southwest Benin. This study however, focused on the role of arts and cultural perspectives in traditional marriages of the Anlo sub-group of Ghana. This study will go a long way to add onto the existing research on African marriage contexts.
