Abstract

This qualitative case study explores the determinants and impacts of early marriage in Muara Tami District, Jayapura City. Through interviews with adolescents, parents, and stakeholders, the study finds that cultural norms, poverty, weak supervision, and low reproductive health education are key drivers. Early marriage leads to high-risk pregnancies, psychological issues, school dropouts, and economic dependence. Existing prevention efforts are present but remain reactive and suboptimal. The study highlights the need for cross-sector collaboration and community-based interventions to effectively address early marriage in the region.
