Abstract

Early marriage poses significant psychological and societal challenges, impacting both individuals and communities worldwide. This abstract examines the mental health consequences of early marriage, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It explores the cultural and societal contexts that perpetuate early marriage, emphasizing the roles of traditional norms, gender inequality, and societal pressures. The intergenerational impact of early marriage is also highlighted, revealing how it affects children of young mothers and strains community resources. Effective interventions and support mechanisms, including preventive measures, psychological support, and successful case studies, are discussed. The need for comprehensive approaches that integrate education, empowerment, and policy reforms is emphasized. This analysis underscores the importance of addressing early marriage's root causes and implementing tailored strategies to mitigate its psychological impact.
