“…The present study revealed that adolescent brides regret losing their childhood, as well as education and professional opportunities, and reported psychological problems and burnout. Additionally, depression, post‐traumatic stress disorder and suicide are more common in those who married early (Eray et al, 2019; Gage, 2013; John et al, 2019). John et al revealed significant negative associations between very early marriage (marriage at 15 years or earlier) and overall psychological well‐being in both Niger and Ethiopia (John et al, 2019).…”

“…Although current studies on this issue focus on the phenomenon of child marriage in Turkey and determinants (Baysak et al, 2021; Eray et al, 2019; Kuygun Karci et al, 2020; Sezgin & Punamäki, 2020); a gap still exist in the literature that aim to better understand impact of adolescent motherhood accompanied by their experiences.…”

Background/Aim: Early marriage is a preventable public health problem that brings along social and health problems as well. This study was performed to determine the views of adult married women, who live in the villages located in the central district of Bitlis which is situated in the eastern region of Turkey, on early marriage and compare their views with their perception of health. Subjects and Methods: Adult married women, who live in the villages located in the central district of Bitlis which is situated in the eastern region of Turkey, constitute the population of this cross-sectional study. Results: Customs and traditions, helping with household chores or agricultural tasks, and bride price are the main factors in preferring these marriages. It has been determined that age (r = 0.100; P = 0.047) and number of children (r = 0.153; P = 0.002) are positively related with health perception, albeit weakly. The median (score: 49) of women having five or more children is significantly higher than women (score: 45) with children in the range of 0-2. Conclusion: Women living in rural areas have a high rate of early marriage, and traditions and customs determine the decision to marry. Age and number of children were found to be positively correlated with perception of health, though weakly. Increasing the perception of health before and during the initial years of marriage could help in preventing many adverse effects that are caused by early marriage. With the increase in age and number of children, women might seek more health. This can increase women's health perception.
