<![CDATA[Early marriage is still common in Indonesia. Until now, we increasingly hear the phenomenon of early marriage not only among indigenous people but has also spread to school students who should be focusing on studying and developing talents. Marriage is essentially not only a bond to legalize biological relationships but also to form a family that is independent in thinking and solving problems in marriage. Due to the unpreparedness of the perpetrators of early marriage, conflicts that end in divorce often end the bond. This study aims to determine and explain the causes of early marriage, problems that occur in marriage, and to explain the impact of early marriage on married life in Ngawen District, Klaten Regency. This type of research is descriptive qualitative using observation data collection methods, interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis is carried out by data reduction, data display and conclusion stages. The results of the study indicate that the causes of married couples getting married at an early age in Ngawen District are due to free association factors, the increasing spread of free sex among teenagers, due to economic factors, low education factors, and parental encouragement. Early marriage causes the impact of losing educational opportunities, losing opportunities to develop and express themselves, being vulnerable to pregnancy and fetal problems, being vulnerable to domestic violence, causing social problems, and can lead to divorce.]]>
