For some members of the public, having same sex children is considered a “misfortune” or something “unacceptable” and so some people are quick to either call parents who have such children names or look down upon them.
But no couple has control over what God has predestined.
The situation is more terrible for couples who have given birth to only girls compared with those who have all boys.
This has even led to some couples having more children than they initially planned in their attempt to have a child of another sex to avoid public ridicule.
“Some people claim that it is only womanisers who give birth to only girls” Mr Prince Debrah, a father of five girls disclosed this in an interview with The Spectator on Wednesday.
He said some people were quick to pass unpleasant comments and constantly criticise such couples “as if it is their fault to produce only girls”.
“I am sure before any couple got married they didn’t know whether they would have all males or all females or mixed children ” he said.
Mr. Debrah who has been married for 16 years said it was sad that sometimes people even verbally attacked the girls and made them feel they were not part of the society.
He said that such constant criticism of couples was a form of emotional abuse which the public must desist from.
He said some men had divorced their partners or shirked their responsibilities as fathers because of such unpleasant comments from people.
The 48-year-old man encouraged couples with same sex children especially girls, to see them as a blessing and work hard to educate them to become responsible citizens “because what a man can do a woman can do it better”.
“I have decided to give all my five daughters good education to make them know that they are a blessing to my wife and I as well as the society so they should take their studies seriously and give of their best to make every family member proud” he said.

The La Traditional Council says all redevelopment plans by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) for the demolished La Pleasure Beach Resort have been put on hold.
The decision follows a high-level stakeholder meeting involving the La Traditional Council, SSNIT and the National Security.
Speaking after the meeting, La Shikitele Nii Adjei Koofeh IV said the Council was unhappy with the manner in which the demolition exercise was carried out without prior consultation with the traditional authorities.
He explained that the La Traditional Council, as the landowners and primary stakeholders, should have been informed before the exercise.
According to him, National Security officials explained that not every operation or exercise requires prior disclosure, but the Council maintained that it should at least have been alerted because of its interest in the land.
Nii Adjei Koofeh IV criticised SSNIT over claims that it had been engaging the traditional authorities on the redevelopment of the area.
He said SSNIT had published information suggesting that it would continue engaging the Council, which implied that consultations had already begun.
He maintained that this was not the case and said the Council raised the matter during the meeting.
He said SSNIT subsequently apologised, while National Security also apologised for failing to engage the traditional authorities before the demolition exercise.
On the way forward, Nii Adjei Koofeh IV said the redevelopment has been suspended to allow for proper consultations and the observance of due process.
He said a committee will be formed to examine the issues surrounding the demolition and consider SSNIT’s redevelopment plans with the aim of reaching an agreement that satisfies all stakeholders.
The La Traditional Council, he added, wants the interests of the La people to be protected in any future arrangement.
He stressed that whatever belongs to La must remain beneficial to the people of La, while the interests of La indigenes working at the facility must also be safeguarded.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.
