Worse yet, most of them are known to be pregnant out of wedlock. The research method is a qualitative method with the aim of digging deeper into information related to early marriage in terms of social, humanities and economic aspects. This research is limited to farmer families in Sumbawa Regency, this is because the average community in Sumbawa Regency has a job as a farmer.
