- Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu has stirred public debate with his declaration that he won’t marry any woman unless they’ve been intimate.
- He says the decision stems from lessons learned during his previous marriage, which ended in divorce.
- Manu believes sexual compatibility is essential to avoid future infidelity and insists that honesty about expectations is better than pretending to meet societal norms.
Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has made headlines with a personal relationship rule that challenges conventional norms. According to him, he will not marry any woman unless they’ve first been intimate — a stance he says is rooted in hard-earned experience.
Reflecting on his previous marriage, which ended in divorce in 2021, Manu explained that emotional and physical disconnects contributed to the breakdown. He now believes that testing compatibility before commitment is essential to avoid frustration and the temptation of extramarital affairs.
The actor insists his approach isn’t about promoting promiscuity, but about protecting the integrity of marriage. For him, knowing a partner fully — emotionally, spiritually, and physically — is the only way to build a lasting union.
Manu’s comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some applauding his honesty and others criticizing the message as culturally insensitive. Still, he remains firm in his belief that transparency and personal peace matter more than public approval.
As his ex-wife moves on and remarries, Manu says he’s focused on learning from the past and setting clearer boundaries for the future.
