Stunting ia a condition in a child`s growth where the growth is not in accordance with his age due to lack of nutritional intake in accordance with the dose and for a long period of time or also due to other causes such as early marriage. One of them is in Aceh Singkil district which was almost in the red category with a prevalence of 29.6 percent of stunting cases in 2021. This research is an observational study which was carried out in Pulau Balai Village, Pulau Banyak District, Aceh Singkil Regency, so students of KKN UIN SU held counseling about the dangers of early marriage to prevent stunting and also counseling to the community to explain about stunting due to the lack of public knowledge about it.
