Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the journey of Tboli Junior High School learners towards early marriage along with their views, feelings and perceptions on its effects in their lives. Qualitative research design was utilized using single case study approach which involved four (4) participants chosen through purposive sampling. Thematic content analysis was used as a data analysis tool. Findings revealed that participants perceived early marriage as a result due to family pressure, lack of financial stability, adherence to cultural norms, face various changes, ruined future plans, undergo rough patch, important matter to deal with, and require acceptance. In terms of their feelings about the phenomenon, sad, shocked, confused, regretful, irritated, contented, afraid, happy, and obligated were the emergent themes; lastly, social isolation, hinders dream, cause misunderstanding, physical appearance changes, continuous childbirth, body pain, become responsible, economic vulnerability, health risks, dilemma on being neglected, get jealous of successful friends, low self-esteem, multiple responsibilities, struggle on spouse’s vices, need to follow in-laws, and become vigilant with actions were its effects in their lives. This may raise awareness on the effects of early marriage, thus have significant social implication on delaying the practice. It was essential to consider context when developing policies and initiatives that are sensitive to cultural differences.
