Abstract

Thisstudy aims to explore the views of university students on the issue of early marriage among adolescents in Malaysia. There are many teenagers who get married at an early age and then they have to deal with various issues or problems after marriage. Couples who married in adolescence are at risk for divorce in less time than couples who married in adulthood. Early marriage among adolescents also has an impact in various aspects such as schooling, finance, and responsibilities. The objective of this study is to explore students’ views on early marriage among adolescents, the impact of early marriage, the factors of early marriage, and to explore students’ views on the issues that exist in early marriage among adolescents in Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative research method which is phenomenological research. A semi-structured interview method was used to interview 12 students in the Faculty of Cognitive Sciences and Human Development, UNIMAS. The study found four themes, which are students' views on early marriage, impact of early marriage, early marriage factors, and issues that inherent in early marriage among adolescents. There are four sub themes for students' views on early marriage among adolescents, which are immature, following trends, avoid immorality, and should not marry. For the sub themes to the impacts of early marriage among adolescents are divorce, burden, neglect of responsibilities, frustration with education, and independent. As for the factors of early marriage among adolescents, three sub themes have been identified which are being influenced, pregnancy, and family order.
