My mother in-law works at the mortuary
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 29-year-old man who works in a reputable organisation. I intend to marry my longtime girlfriend this year.
She has been through thick and thin with me and I love her so much.
During our conversation, she told me that her mother works at the mortuary.
I didn’t believe her earlier, only for her mother to tell me that she has been doing that job for the past 16 years and it is very lucrative.
I don’t believe I can proceed with the marriage. How can my in-law be working at the mortuary.
Alfred, Bogosu.

Dear Alfred,
I strongly recommend that you marry your long-time girlfriend, considering the shared experiences you’ve weathered together.
The occupation of your mother-in-law as a mortuary attendant should not be a determining factor in you have decision to marry.
Focus on the exceptional qualities you see in your part ner that led you to propose to her. Embrace the connection you share and move forward with confidence in building a life together, independent of external factors.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35year –old-lady married to a banker. I am a housewife. I am fair in complexion. I got my left hand tattooed sometime last year. I have never had my peace with my husband because he strongly abhors.
In my attempt to get it erased, I have caused a big scar on my hand which has worsened the situation. Sometime ago, your esteemed paper carried a story about how permanent tattoo can be cleared and a location.
May I know whether it is possible to get the scar and tattoo erased, and how much it would cost.
Worried housewife, Prampram.
Dear housewife,
Since I have no idea how wide and deep the scar and tattoo are, it would be difficult for me to have a meaningful discussion with the specialists at the unit.
I suggest that the next time you visit Accra, you pay a visit to any skincare unit and ask what help they can offer.
But until then, do not apply any self-medication. You may also ask your doctor to advise you as if there is any way out for a surgery. All the best.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
Ever since we got married, two years ago, my husband seldom wears his wedding ring except on occasion such as church service, funerals, outdooring and other social gatherings.
For the rest of the week, he goes to work without it. The excuse he gives is that whether he wears the ring to work or not, he is by law married to me.
But I beg to differ. I suspect there is more to it than what he told me. I need your advice on this.
Eno, Ashiaman.
Dear Eno,
Some men don’t like wearing rings; others enjoy it. It is just like how some women like wearing jewellery or large earing while others would rather do away with them.
The fact, however, is that a man can misbehave even when he wears it or not because there are ladies who wouldn’t mind with the ring on.
When he gets back home, he would wear it again. What difference does it make if he doesn’t wear it all?
