The Krobo people located in the Eastern Region of Ghana have a distinct marriage tradition just like other tribes. One of the critical aspects of their marriage traditions is the “Krobo Marriage List”. In the Krobo language, marriage, known as “GBA,” is seen as a sacred institution that requires everyone’s involvement. The groom’s family presents a list of items to the bride’s family as part of the marriage rites.

On the day of the marriage ceremony, the groom’s family presents the items on the list to the bride’s family. They divide the list into sections, with specific items designated for the bride, the mother-in-law, and the father-in-law. Additionally, the groom’s family includes presentations for the brothers-in-law and the entire family. This ceremony goes beyond a mere exchange of goods; it marks a significant event where the two families unite, guided by the elders from both sides.

In contemporary times, some aspects of the Krobo Traditional Marriage List have evolved. For instance, instead of insisting on all traditional items, some families may accept cash equivalents or adapt the list to suit the couple’s circumstances. However, the core of the tradition remains intact, reflecting the Krobo people’s commitment to preserving their heritage.

In previous articles, we talked about the Akan and Ewe marriage list. In this blog post, we’ll explore the items that make up the Marriage List and in subsequent post, also look at how the traditional rites are carried out.
