Why I married Adazoa without ever seeing her – Clement Abrefa

Despite never seeing her — not even a photograph — Abrefa said he was drawn to her calm and respectful way of speaking. “I decided to marry her despite not seeing her because the way she spoke to me attracted me. What began as a simple wrong number call turned into a lifelong commitment, a decision Abrefa says he has never regretted.
