LITERATUR REVIEW THE RISE OF EARLY MARRIAGE IN LOMBOK DUE TO TRADITIONAL AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT'S NEGATIVE IMPACT OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Abstract

Early marriage still often happens in Indonesia, especially in Lombok. One of the causes is the presence of traditions like merariq or eloping, which are already deeply rooted in the community. Early marriage happens mostly because of the lack of knowledge about the negative impacts, especially regarding adolescent reproductive health. This research was done using a literature study method to find out the factors that cause early marriage and how it affects both physical and mental health. From the various sources that have been reviewed, it was found that getting married at a young age can lead to pregnancy complications, risky childbirth, infectious diseases, stress or depression, and even dropping out of school, which can lead to economic problems. There needs to be equal education and awareness in the community so people can be more aware and delay marriage age for a better future. Besides that, laws and government roles are also needed.
