Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of identifying 1. the causes of child marriage, and 2. the factors that contribute to child marriage. In this study, the author used a qualitative research method with a descriptive research procedure. In relation to this, a methodological process was undertaken consisting of literature research and field research comprising observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study were determined to be 6 households and 1 religious figure, selected using purposive sampling. Based on the findings from the field research, which were then analyzed to answer the research questions and linked to Max Weber's theory of affective, instrumental, and traditional social action, it was concluded that 1. the causes of early marriage and its impacts are due to pregnancy outside of marriage, arranged marriages, and mutual consent, and 2. the impact of the economic crisis within the family, where husbands and wives often have minor arguments in their household because the wife is always angry because the husband does not have a permanent job, while the household needs are quite numerous.
