A pastor has issued a strong warning against domestic abuse, stating that he would personally ensure the arrest of any man who abuses his daughter.
Speaking on Atinka TV’s relationship programme Kisses & Roses, Rev. William Akyea Asiedu, Head of Chaplaincy and Lecturer at the Presbyterian Nurses and Midwifery Training College (PNMTC), made the statement while discussing marriage, responsibility, and the protection of women.
According to him, love and marriage must never be used as an excuse for abuse, stressing that any form of violence in a relationship is unacceptable.
“I will arrest any man that abuses my daughter straight to the IGP,” Rev. Asiedu said, emphasizing his zero tolerance for domestic abuse.
The pastor explained that marriage should be built on love, respect, and mutual understanding, not fear or control. He noted that families have a responsibility to protect their daughters and ensure their safety within marriage.
Rev. Asiedu’s comments came during a broader discussion on expectations in marriage and the responsibilities that come with forming a family, where he urged parents not to remain silent when abuse occurs.
His strong stance has resonated with many viewers, sparking conversations on social media about the need for families, religious leaders, and society to take a firmer position against domestic violence.
The remarks reinforce growing calls for accountability and protection for women within marriages, and the importance of reporting abuse through the appropriate legal channels.
