Explanation
As
a human being, we will think about growing older, earning money,
finding our beloved and of course getting married. For some people
getting married is the main purpose of life, but the other side,
happily is more important than getting married. Well, married is a
choice and right, but happily is a must.
Getting
married by someone is a big deal, more over for someone in the age
before 20, of course it would be a huge struggle and decision. It
cost lots of thing to think and it is not as simple as flip your hand
upside down. Getting married in early age means you have to manage
your life early and you have to be ready with marriage problems, such
as financial problem, family problem, children problem and your
future it self. It also means that you have to arrange your
foundation of marriage in short amount of time.
In
the past, our country as a third worlds country, an early age
marriage is a common. In some conditions, there is a culture that
force you to get married in early age. In the same reason, there is a
culture which said “someone won't be called as a success person if
they don't get married in early age, but it is uncommon now, just a
few people who obey those rules. Parent would force their daughter to
get married as soon as possible, or as soon as there is a prince
charming who rides the white shiny horse comes to purpose her. But,
as the time goes by, an early age marriage is an old fashion thing,
people will concern to get married after they can settle their
foundation down. They won't be bothered by age, because they think,
that will be useless if you already get married but you cant fulfill
your family needs and you are dying with this situation and it can be
add problems for parent. Moreover, as a youth, the boy, mostly
doesn't prepared by good ability to do a job for earning money to run
his family.
Some
people said say, marriage in early age will prevent the bad effect of
social lifestyle in modern era, about free sex. Well, maybe that's
true, but not totally true, because there are so many better way to
prevent it, such as by giving sex education, holding a seminar of the
disadvantages of free sex, fix the teenager morality and concern. The
truth is, if people know about law, and applied it in the wrong way,
an early age marriage can be “a way” to do legal free sex in
youth. It happens, this one is real, for example they get married in
early age because they can't hold their desire, after a moment, they
will get divorce and be a single. We can't categorize it as a free
sex, but it is, in a legal way. The ugly truth, it is getting worse
to get an early age marriage.
The
problem of an early age marriage in social life viewpoint is the
changing role that happens to married couple. They will not find the
flexibility of someone single and available, because now they are
bound by the role as a husband and wife. In this case, they will feel
that a lot of thing is changing, they can't be like someone
previously, there will be a border even though they are hanging out
with their friends who has similar age. Getting married in early age
means they have to sacrifice their common life, such as education
program. As a youth, education is important because it is a bridge to
get a better future. No formal education means no certificate, no
certificate means no admission, no admission means hard to get a
decent job. As a couple who getting married in early they will get
new problems, and frankly, those problems will interfere their
education.
In
medical viewpoint, this case may add the risk of mortality. In early
age, the risk of cervical cancer is high, because, the genital of
girls still fragile. Fragile means that spot is easy to broke because
there is a transition from youth cell form in to adult cell form.
Pregnancy in early age will cause a trouble for the baby and the
mother it self. Deformed babies (including the mentality deformed or
physical disability) often occurs because of the mother has lack of
knowledge of how to keep her pregnancy healthy. Of course this is a
serious problem.
