Upon dissolution of marriage, property jointly acquired during the marriage is distributed based on the "Equality is Equity" principle espoused in Mensah v. Mensah (2012) JELR 68553 (SC).

See also Arthur v. Arthur (2013) JELR 68194 (SC); Adjei v. Adjei (2019) JELR 64250 (CA); Twumasi v. Osei (2019) JELR 67091 (CA); Konadu v. Abdul Rasheed (2020) JELR 92043 (SC)
