This research is a mixed research type (mix method), namely presenting quantitative data as the main data by using multivariate statistical analysis of multiple logistic regression while qualitative data by conducting interviews and documentation. The research sample was 80 girls aged <19 years and 80 girls >20 years with a ratio of 1:1. The research variables were the age of mother's first marriage, mother's education, father's education, teenage girls' education and parents' income. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression. Factors that influence the occurrence of early marriage are the education of young women (P-Value 0.000; OR 30.429; 95% CI = 7.057-131.199), father's education (P-Value 0.004; 0.367; 95% CI = 0.186-0.727) and parents' income ( P-Value = 0.000; OR 5.707; 95% CI = 529-20.373) means that the factor that most influences the occurrence of early marriage is the education of young women. It is known that the education of adolescents in the low category is 30 times the risk of experiencing early marriage. The results of the in-depth interviews also found another reason why young women marry early because of unwanted pregnancies and risky sexual behavior in adolescents. Efforts can be made by providing economic strengthening programs to poor families who are at risk of early marriage so as to increase access to schooling for young women and increase access to services and education on reproductive health for adolescents and their parents.
