In 2016, Gunung Kidul Regency, Yogya­karta, Indonesia, had the highest number of child marriages which accounted for 1.395 cases. Con­sider­ing the many negative factors of early preg­nan­cy, possessing the ability to survive and over­come hardship is imperative for married female adolescents.

The data were collected using questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression.Results: High knowledge (OR= 3.48; 95% CI= 0.11 to 10.55; p= 0.028) and democratic parent­ing style (OR= 5.11; 95% CI= 1.62 to 16.05; p= 0.005) increased the resilience toward repro­ductive health in married female adolescents, and they were statistically significant.Conclusion: High knowledge and democratic parent­ing style increases the resilience toward repro­ductive health in married female adolescents.Keywords: resilience, reproductive health parenting styleCorrespondence: Beby Yohana.
