Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research explores the social interactions and underlying factors
contributing to child marriage in Rajek Dusun, Berang Village, Simpang Teritip District. Child
marriage, defined as marriage involving individuals under 16 for women and 19 for men, remains
prevalent despite legal prohibitions. The study employs interviews and observations to gather
data from individuals, objects, and entities that provide relevant information. Findings indicate
that child marriage is driven by socio-economic pressures, cultural customs, and lack of
awareness about legal and health implications. The research highlights the adverse outcomes of
early marriage, particularly for young women who face increased risks to their reproductive and
mental health. Community perspectives reveal that traditional norms often override legal
measures, perpetuating the practice. The study underscores the need for comprehensive
community education programs focusing on the legal, health, and social implications of early
marriage. Collaborative efforts between local government and community leaders are essential
to raise awareness and support young individuals in their transition to adulthood. By prioritizing
education, health services, and vocational training, the community can work towards reducing
the incidence of child marriage and promoting healthier, more prosperous futures for its
members
