Kalsoume Sinare Baffoe, an actress, has stated that she would never allow her child to marry a Christian.
The devout Muslim, who is married to Ghanaian ex-footballer Anthony Baffoe, made the announcement in a recent interview with Zionfelix on the set of her upcoming film “Zongo Boys.”
Kalsoume Sinare portrayed a Muslim mother who did not approve of her daughter’s relationship with a Christian man – an antiquated ethnic practice that impedes a harmonious relationship.
When asked why her script focused on a storyline that could cause religious conflict, she explained that her decision was based on her personal understanding of Islamic doctrine.

According to Kalsoume, the decision not to allow her child to marry a Christian was difficult, but she would not change her mind.
Anthony Baffoe, her husband, was a Christian before converting to Islam prior to their marriage. She was quick to point out that her husband did not change religion because of his love for her, nor was it a requirement for him to be married to her.
He made a personal decision, according to her.
Her statement elicited mixed reactions from social media users, who chastised her harshly.
