Method: This descriptive study was conducted with 114 participants, who were surveyed using a random sampling technique. The survey targeted 101 households in Pappalluang Village. Data were collected through interviews to gather insights on the prevalence of early marriage in the village. Findings: The study revealed that early marriage is highly prevalent among teenagers in Pappalluang Village. The main factors contributing to early marriages include family pressure, economic challenges, a desire to preserve the family’s reputation, and local community traditions. Conclusion: Early marriage in Pappalluang Village is significantly influenced by social and cultural factors. Addressing the issues of family pressure, economic struggles, and traditions is crucial in reducing early marriages and their negative consequences on individuals, families, and the broader community. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the specific socio-cultural dynamics of early marriage in Pappalluang Village, offering unique insights into the interplay between family pressure, economic conditions, and local traditions.
