As educational as it is enlightening and intriguing, HIS ONLY WIFE focuses on a young Ghanaian, Afi, who is linked in a traditional Ghanaian marriage to a man she doesn't know. Not only is this not a marriage of love, it's not even a marriage of convenience: she is chosen by the man's very wealthy entrepreneur mother, known as Aunty, to wed her son Eli in order to drive away the Liberian mistress whom Eli loves. So after a childhood of middle-class comfort collapsed into poverty after her father's untimely death, this young lady is shunted into an unasked for union with a man who might as well be alien, to fulfill a purpose not her own, to satisfy another Family.
