加纳拒绝给予同居伴侣继承权的法案, 因为议员担心偏爱“周边小鸡”, Ghana rejects bill granting inheritance rights to cohabiting partners due to MP concerns over favoring "side chicks."

加纳总检察长解释说,一项旨在给予同居伴侣继承权的法案由于20名女议员的反对而被拒绝。 Ghana's Attorney-General explained that a bill aiming to grant inheritance rights to cohabiting partners was rejected due to opposition from 20 female MPs. 这些议员担心该法案将不公平地有利于婚外伴侣,允许他们继承亡故配偶的财产。 These MPs feared the bill would unfairly benefit extramarital partners, allowing them to inherit properties from deceased spouses. 尽管该法案旨在与《宪法》保持一致,但它却因为对它所偏爱的“侧面小鸡”的关切而被击落。 Despite the bill's aim to align with the Constitution, it was shot down over concerns it favored "side chicks."
