Former Member of Parliament for Kumbungu, Ras Mubarak has defended his decision to marry his own cousin, insisting that it is not incest.
The former MP is married to a daughter of MP for Asawasi, Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka, who happens to be his direct uncle.
However, in an interview with broadcaster, Nana Aba Anamoah on Starr Chat, the former legislator explained that his marriage was not incest because the woman is not his direct sibling.
Ras Mubarak explained that in his Dagomba society, it was completely normal to marry your own cousin, just like some other tribes also practice.
