Renowned Ghanaian media personality, Abena Moet, has sparked conversations on financial responsibility in marriage, particularly for career women. During a recent interview, Moet, known for her bold opinions, emphasized the importance of financial independence for women, especially when it comes to wedding preparations.

In her statement, Moet expressed that while the traditional view may place the responsibility of handling the wedding list and major expenses on the groom, modern career women should not rely entirely on their partners for every financial aspect of the wedding. " As a career woman, apart from the wedding list, which is the man' s responsibility, you should be able to cover the cost of everything else you want, " she asserted. This viewpoint underscores her belief that women should be financially empowered to contribute to significant milestones like marriage.

Moet' s comments highlight the evolving roles of women in modern relationships. In the past, societal norms dictated that men handle most, if not all, of the wedding expenses. However, with more women attaining higher education, securing well- paying jobs, and climbing the corporate ladder, expectations around financial contributions in relationships are gradually shifting. Women today are increasingly taking charge of their financial well- being and are able to contribute meaningfully to wedding expenses and beyond.
