Abstrak

Abstract: Early marriage is identified as a complex social phenomenon that continues to pose a challenge, particularly in the Simpang Kiri district. This phenomenon is influenced by several factors, including low levels of education, cultural traditions, economic difficulties, and out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Using a qualitative research approach, this study aims to gain an in-depth understanding through interviews, observations, and documentation involving five early-married couples as informants. The validity of the data was ensured through source triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that early-married couples experience various material and non-material problems. Material problems include financial hardship, unstable income, dependence on parents, and the lack of independent housing. Non-material problems include negative emotions such as regret, shame, and anxiety, as well as difficulties in communication, emotional management, and role conflicts. The implications for Guidance and Counseling in addressing early marriage include the implementation of information services, consultation services, and therapeutic approaches such as Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, and Behavioral Therapy. Keywords: Guidance and Counseling; Life Problems; Early Marriage.
