Abstract
Early marriage is a complex phenomenon that has significant impacts on individuals, families, and society. This systematic review aims to explore the various drivers of early marriage as they relate to psychological well-being. PRISMA 2018 was used in this study by reviewing research articles published from 2015-2024, the keywords used to search for article were “Psychological Well-Being“ AND “Risk Factor” AND “Early Marriage” OR “Child Marriage”, through Scopus, Science Direct, Ebsco Host, Springer Link, JSTOR, Pubmed, Research Gate, and Emerald databases. Nine articles were found to meet the inclusion criteria. This study found that early marriage is influenced by low education, cultural, economic, social, family support, strong religious influence, and living in rural areas. The low level of psychological well-being as a result of early marriage found in women is influenced by expectations from partners to become mothers and housekeepers. At the same time, young people are not emotionally or psychologically ready to take on this role, and financial dependence on partners increases oppression or domestic violence. Further research is needed to examine the psychological well-being of men who enter early marriage from different countries.
