Abstract

BACKGROUND: Early marriage is a global problem that harms teenagers. The occurrence of early marriage in rural areas is a common practice.

AIM: This study aims to determine the impact of early marriage on aspects of health, psychology, and economic status comprehensively based on the causes of early marriage in rural area.

METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional study design. The sampling unit of this study was early marriage families from three sub-districts in the Ponorogo district, namely Sawoo, Ngrayun, and Pulung. The number of samples used as many as 75 families. The variables in this study consisted of health, husband’s psychology, wife’s psychology, and economic status. The statistical test used polychoric Principle Component Analysis (PCA) analysis to obtain health, psychological and economic status variables derived from several indicators.

RESULTS: The results of this study indicate that in the healthcare variable, it appears that most of the respondents do not experience bleeding, do not have abdominal pain, and do not hurt on contact. Based on the emotion variable, the wife is more emotional than the husband. The results of polychoric PCA are based on scores that are divided into two categories. The results of the polychoric PCA analysis show that most of the early married couples have worse health and economic conditions, namely, 55% and 65%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the psychological condition of husband and wife, most of them have good conditions, namely, 75% and 83%.

CONCLUSION: The impact of early marriage which shows poor results is on the health and economic aspects.
