Abstract

Early marriage often occurs in the low and middle income countries because of thetradition and cultural belief that girls must be married off immediately. The data was obtained from the Aceh Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion, from a population of all married women under the age of 19 years, totaling 507 respondents. The study used a total sampling technique. Data analysis consisted of the use of collinearity tests, chi-square, and multiple logistic regression analysis. The results showed that parental and economic factors have significant relationships to early marriage. The poorest women are 2.23 times more likely to experience early marriages than the richest women. Poor women are 1.68 times more vulnerable to early marriage than the richest women.Women who have parents with a very strong role have a risk of early marriage of 10.34 times compared to women whose parents do not play much of a role, namely 9.10 times. We conclude that parental factors play dominant in the incidence of early marriage in Aceh Province in Indonesia.
