Abstract

This paper focuses on how religion and marriage cultures in Ghana influence women to be ruled by men. As a descriptive research, it used qualitative research approach and adopted descriptive statistics as it used basic tables and graphs to explain the findings. The major finding was that marriage and religion have potential to prevent women from become leaders as women are likely to obey the marriage and religious principles that group women and men into subordinates and leaders respectively. The conclusion made was that as religion and marriage cultures coerce women to accept that men are to lead them in all spheres of life, the radical feminists who see men as enemies and call for emancipation as means to address the situation are likely to fail in their approach. On the other hand, social and liberal feminists who call for education as means to address the man and women status disparities problem are likely to be comfortable in marriage and religion and succeed in becoming leaders in the society as well
加纳阿散蒂地区宗教和婚姻对妇女领导地位的影响
本文主要研究加纳的宗教和婚姻文化是如何影响女性被男性统治的。作为一项描述性研究,它采用定性研究方法,并采用描述性统计,因为它使用基本的表格和图表来解释研究结果。该研究的主要发现是,婚姻和宗教有可能阻碍女性成为领导者,因为女性可能会遵守将女性和男性分别划分为下属和领导者的婚姻和宗教原则。得出的结论是,由于宗教和婚姻文化迫使女性接受男性在生活的各个方面都要领导她们,那些视男性为敌人、呼吁解放女性的激进女权主义者很可能会以失败告终。相反,把教育作为解决男女地位差距问题的手段的社会女权主义者和自由女权主义者很可能在婚姻和宗教上感到舒适,并成功成为社会的领导者
