Early marriage among teenagers, especially in villages, is often triggered by inadequate parenting. This study aims to analyse the factors that cause early marriage and its impact on children's lives. The method used is field research with in-depth interviews and observation in Karang Anyer Village, Simalungun. The findings show that economic factors, social environment and permissive parenting are the main causes. The impacts of early marriage include educational disconnection, health risks and economic challenges, although there are also positive impacts such as a reduction in parental burden. The results of this study highlight the importance of parents' role in educating their children and raising public awareness about the dangers of early marriage.
