PERNIKAHAN DINI AKIBAT KEHAMILAN DAN DAMPAKNYA TERHADAP KESIAPAN EMOSIONAL SERTA DINAMIKA RELASI RUMAH TANGGA

Abstract

This study aims to analyze early marriage due to premarital pregnancy and its impact on emotional readiness, marital dynamics, and pastoral support systems. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method involving two married couples in Molas, Tateli, and Malalayang. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that early marriage tends to occur due to situational pressure rather than emotional readiness. This condition leads to unstable communication patterns, unresolved conflicts, and in one case, domestic violence (KDRT). Family support plays a significant role in maintaining marital stability, while the lack of pastoral involvement weakens emotional and spiritual resilience. The study concludes that emotional readiness, communication skills, and support systems are crucial factors in sustaining early marriages.
