The marital dispute between Bishop Daniel Obinim and gospel musician Florence Obinim has escalated, with recent reports placing their relationship before the Accra High Court and focusing attention on their marital property.
Recent reports indicate that Florence Obinim has reportedly sought an end to her marriage to Bishop Daniel Obinim, bringing another major development to the couple’s highly publicised marital dispute.
Florence Reportedly Seeks Divorce
Gospel musician Florence Obinim has reportedly approached the Accra High Court seeking a divorce from Bishop Daniel Obinim.
According to reports, she has also indicated that she is prepared to leave marital properties to the bishop as the dispute over their relationship continues.
The development follows months of public tension between the couple, with both Bishop Obinim and Florence making comments about their troubled relationship.
Traditional Divorce Process Reportedly Began Earlier
The latest development follows reports that Florence’s family returned Bishop Obinim’s “Tiri Nsa”, a traditional Ghanaian gesture associated with a woman’s intention to end a marriage.
Reports said Obinim’s family accepted the drinks rather than rejecting the gesture, further fuelling speculation that the couple’s marriage was heading towards a formal separation.
The dispute has since attracted considerable public attention, with social media users closely following statements and videos from both sides.
Obinim’s Position on the Properties
Recent reports indicate that the question of properties acquired during the marriage has become an important part of the dispute.
Reports suggest that Florence is prepared to leave the marital properties to Bishop Obinim, although the precise legal ownership and status of individual properties would ultimately depend on the evidence and any decisions made through the appropriate legal process.
What About the Marriage Certificate?
A viral graphic circulating online attributes a statement to Bishop Obinim claiming that the couple’s marriage certificate was “fake” or “not original.”
GhanaMedia has not independently established that claim.
No reliable court document or authoritative legal record located during our verification establishes that the marriage certificate has been declared invalid or fraudulent.
The allegation should therefore be treated as a statement attributed to Bishop Obinim rather than an established legal fact.
Important Distinction
The reported divorce proceedings and the existence of a marital dispute should not be confused with a final court ruling on the validity of the marriage or ownership of any property.
Until the court makes a determination, claims concerning the validity of the marriage certificate, property ownership or other disputed matters should be presented with appropriate attribution.
