Abstract	Marriage is a hot issue for debate and discussion. Apart from the excitement afforded by its romantic and aesthetic aspects, concerns before marriage are also expressed in more negative terms in terms of genetic/infectious diseases and psycho-social values. The aim of this paper is to portray the aspects of marriage among the Akans in Ghana. The paper focuses on aspects of marriage. An attempt has been made to explain some genetic and psycho-social values that may serve as barriers to contracting a marriage among Akans. The paper is with reference to numerous pieces of literature that have been published on marriages. It thus presents a historical account from a sociological viewpoint and scientific points of view.
