| Gui and | Gana people often have extra-marital relationships with lovers with implicit understanding, and this type of relationship is called “zaa-ku”. According to their folk-interpreration of human reproduction, a child born under “zaa-ku” is considered to be made from mixed semen, accumulated eventually by no only the lover but also the husband. So the child is thought to get life from of them. Though the lover is genetically physiological father, the husband can specified as not only the pater but also the genitor. On their notion of conception, it is not necessaty for a genitor to be only one person. Therefore, the husband can be considered to have complete paternity for the child of his wife, whoever is the physiolgical father.
