Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of begging with a particular focus on Shariah Requirements Versus Contemporary Economics Realities: Influx of Muslim Beggars in Sabon-Zongo Accra. Overall, the study contributes towards filling the enormous gap in the literature on begging in Muslim communities in Ghana and adds other dimensions to the phenomenon of both child and adult begging in general demonstrating the complexity and different facades of the phenomenon. The methodology employed was qualitative, whilst structured interview as a method was used in gathering the necessary information needed for this article. In discussing the findings, the article analyses how this practice works and seeks to gain insight into the interrelationships of the children with their adult partners both at the family levels and at the street level as well as the implications of these interrelationships on the level of agency and vulnerability of the children involved. More importantly, the article highlights the experiences and voices of beggars by looking at the economic realities and the role Islam plays alleviating the plights of beggars. It also highlights the processes that lead to the manifestation of the phenomenon as we see it; that is, why are children used as partners and not adults, and how that is influenced and shaped by power relations and the society’s understanding of what is right and wrong for the child.

Abstract

Although Islam allows the parents to make arrangements for their children, especially for marriage, it never stipulated laws ignoring their consent. This is, however, the case in Akim Oda, where women are forced into marriages in the name of Islam without their consent. The situation is worrying, and women, especially female Muslim youths who are forced into marriages, continue to be disadvantaged in terms of education and training. This research work, therefore, investigates the reasons for such happenings and compares it with Islam’s view on marriage within the context of forced marriage as practiced in Akim Oda. In this regard, the qualitative research method was employed. The primary data collection method included interviews with fifteen (15) respondents, including Chiefs, Imams, religious leaders, opinion leaders, parents, and female Muslim youths. Findings from the field indicate that forced marriages, in most cases within the study area, were to the benefit of the family and not to the female Muslim youths. It was also observed from the findings that parents and relatives collect monies for their daughters who ended up dropping out of school for marriages they are unprepared for.

Abstract

The term ‘dialogue of life’ is usually used to display the phenomenon of living together of people of different religious persuasions, carrying out daily life interactions among themselves. Although coexistence of Ghanaians of multi-religious society had begun long before pre-independence when they frequently met and shared activities together, we fail to recognize that this kind of social interaction is part of the interreligious dialogue operating at the grass roots level. This is especially so when it comes to Christian-Muslim intermarriages. In Ghana, it is always a thorny issue among religious leaders when it comes to approving marriages between Muslims and Christians. Both religious groups are opposed to giving their approval and blessings to Christian-Muslim marriages. The crux of their opposition centre son differences in belief. Scholars appear to have failed to realize that this increasing occurrence of intermarriages within and across boundaries is an impact of globalization frequently overlooked.
