Lumba family challenges court ruling, vows to defend German marriage certificate

The direct family of the late musician Charles Kwadwo Fosuh (Daddy Lumba) says it will pursue legal remedies following aspects of a recent ruling delivered by Her Ladyship Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, insisting that portions of the decision do not reflect the facts surrounding the marriage of the late artiste and his widow.
In a press statement issued on December 6, 2025, the family reiterated its “full respect” for the judicial process but maintained that certain findings must be contested to establish what it describes as the complete truth.
“We strongly disagree with aspects of the decision and will seek appropriate legal redress,” the family stated. “Our commitment remains to justice, clarity and the protection of the dignity of the late musician’s lawful wife and children.”
The press release also responded to public commentary surrounding the German Marriage Certificate presented by the late musician’s widow, Mrs. Akosua Serwah Fosuh, which was dismissed and mocked during a public appearance by pundit Kofi Owusu. The family described the comments as “uninformed” and “hostile.”
Addressing the Ghanaian community in Germany and others unsettled by the controversy, the family issued strong reassurance:
“Do not lose hope. The authenticity and international credibility of German marriage documents will be upheld and defended.”
They emphasized that German Marriage Certificates remain globally respected, stating:
“A German Marriage Certificate is the Mercedes-Benz of marriage certificates—unmatched in legitimacy, integrity, and rigor.”
The family added that those worried about the erosion of the sanctity of legal marriage should remain confident that the truth will ultimately surface.
“The Almighty God will restore confidence in marriage and expose any falsehoods intended to weaken its foundation,” the statement declared.
