The number of samples used were 104 families. The variables in this study consisted of health, husband's psychology, wife's psychology, economic resilience and well-being. The analysis to construct composite variables was polychoricpca analysis. Results: The long-term effects of early marriage can be seen comprehensively using polychoric PCA analysis. Based on the polyuchoric PCA analysis, a composite variable was obtained, namely Maternal Health (λ=2.79; CE 0.35); Infant health (λ=2.23; CE 0.45); Wife's psychology (λ=6.78; CE 0.56); Husband's psychology (λ=5.59; CE 0.56); Wellbeing (λ=2.07; CE 0.30); Economic resilience (λ=1.60; CE 0.40). The results of this study indicate that the long-term impact of early marriage compared to adult marriage is on the poorer aspects of maternal health, poorer infant health, poorer wellbeing and worse Economic Resilience. Conclusions: There needs to be special monitoring of cases of early marriage, so that it will suppress the bad impact.
