Summary/Abstract: Early marriage is a type of relationship that both sides are dissatisfied with and is often referred to as proper marriage. In such marriages, people like parents can use pressure and violence to convince the girl and the man. Some parents can lead to early marriages without regard to the basic rights of their children. Early marriage remains a major problem worldwide and in Afghanistan. Some people have to agree to marry someone else at the request of their parents, without their consent. Fear of domestic violence forces many girls and boys to early marriage, and if the family rejects this request, one can see serious physical and psychological harm. Unfortunately, in Afghanistan, although the number of underage marriages takes place in the absence of physical and mental maturity, there are mostly reluctant marriages. This broughtwith it many social, humanitarian and moral problems. According to the results of the research survey, various factors cause marriages in Afghanistan at an early age and child age. These factors include poverty, parents' decision, poor economic situation, lack of education, culture and family lifestyle.
