The Accra High Court, which heard the case of Odartey Lamptey's ex-wife Gloria Appiah, has ordered Odartey Lamptey to pay Gloria for her time as his wife despite her adultery.
The court stated that while Gloria Appiah Lamptey committed evident adultery (as evidenced by DNA results) during her marriage to Odartey Lamptey, this does not negate the existence of the marriage.
Despite the adultery that resulted in three children who are not Odartey Lamptey's, the presiding judge, Her Lordship Justice (Mrs) Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey, noted that the law still respects Gloria Appiah's right to be a wife and requires that she be treated as any other lawful wife would be treated because there was actually a marriage.
As a result, the court ordered Mr. Odartey Lamptey to pay Gloria Appiah 40% of the Ghc500,000 she had requested from the court, as well as to enable her to keep his Toyota Venza, which she already had.
In addition to the Dome Kwabenya mansion that has been given to her, he is to add another car of his, a Toyota Yaris, for her relaxation.
