Abstract

Introduction: Early marriage is prevalent in various regions of Indonesia and is a health, social, and educational issue that requires attention. Teenagers who marry at an early age are at risk of reproductive health problems, impaired child development, dropping out of school, and limited future economic opportunities. Furthermore, the decision to marry off a child is often influenced by parental knowledge, attitudes toward early marriage, and subjective norms prevailing within the family and community. Therefore, research on early marriage is needed to identify factors influencing parental intentions to prevent the practice, thus providing a basis for designing more targeted interventions and prevention programs.
