Abstract We investigated transgressions in the context of in-law relationships in Ghana. In-laws form an integral part of the family structure in Ghana. However, psychological studies on in-law relationships in this country are rare. The current study interviewed thirty-seven individuals, aged between 32 and 76 who had been married between 2 and 59 years, from two regions in Southern Ghana. Through semi-structured interviews, participants described transgressions in-laws commit in the context of marriage. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Findings revealed two major transgressions: role failure; and failure/resistance to changes in the in-law relationship. For children-in-law, failure to discharge roles as child bearers and meet financial obligations were considered as transgressions. Transgressions committed by parents-in-law include poor conflict handling, failures associated with customary postnatal care duties, privacy violations, and usurpation of daughter-in-law’s cooking rights. Findings have implications for couple and family interventions. Nous avons étudié les transgressions commises dans le contexte des relations entre beaux-parents au Ghana. Les beaux-parents font une partie intégrante de la structure familiale au Ghana. Cependant, les études psychologiques sur les beaux-parents dans ce pays sont rares. L'étude actuelle a interrogé trentesept personnes âgés de 32 à 76 ans, mariées entre 2 et 59 ans, de deux régions du sud du Ghana. Par le biais d'entretiens semi-structurées, les participants ont décrit les transgressions commises par la belle-famille dans le cadre du mariage. Les entretiens ont été enregistrées, transcrits textuellement et analysés thématiquement. Les résultats ont révélé deux transgressions majeures: l'échec du rôle et l’échec/la résistance aux changements dans la belle-famille. Pour les beaux-enfants, les manquements à leur rôle de parents et à leurs obligations financières étaient considérés comme des transgressions. Les transgressions commises par les beaux-parents comprennent une mauvaise gestion des conflits, des échecs associés aux obligations coutumières de soins post-natal, des violations de la vie privée et l’usurpation des droits de la belle-fille en matière de cuisine. Les résultats ont des implications pour les interventions de couple et de famille.
