Child marriage and divorce are phenomena that occur in many communities in Simpang Empat Sungai Baru Village. This research aims to examine what factors make children choose to marry and eventually divorce. This research uses qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection used observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses techniques from Miles and Huberman, namely the data reduction stage, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This research shows that the factors that make children choose to marry are due to pregnancy outside of marriage, immature mindset, economy, and love traps. The tendency of early married couples' households not to last long is due to an immature mindset. The decision to divorce is driven by several factors, such as infidelity, family interference, domestic violence, and exhausted love.

Child marriage households in Simpang Empat Sungai Baru Village cannot fulfil the components, only Adaptation because they can adjust the environment.
