Gus Zizan And Kamila's Marriage Reaps Criticism, Here's The Impact Of Early Marriage On Mental Health

JAKARTA - The marriage of Gus Zizan and Kamila Asy Syifa has drawn attention and criticism from netizens on social media. Because they got married at a very young age, namely Gus Zizan 19 years old, while Kamila is still around 17 years old.

Netizens assess that early marriage, especially for Kamila who is still a minor, can have various bad effects. Moreover, Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage states that marriage is permitted if women and men reach the age of 19.

Quoting from the Frontiers page, early marriage or underage marriage can indeed have various bad effects on life. One of them is for mental health.

Young married people are at high risk of depression, and can even lead to suicide. Research shows that the risk of depression due to early marriage is often experienced by women.

This is because young girls tend to have difficulty carrying out their responsibilities in raising and raising children. This can also weaken their self-confidence in dealing with other people.

In addition, the burden of household work and social duties as a married person can also be a risk factor for depression. This responsibility can lead to an increase in depression, a bad mood, and anxiety disorders.

Early marriage can also be an isolated experience from relationships such as being with friends of the same age. This can then have an impact on the psychological well-being of the woman.

Thus, early marriage is actually not recommended to be carried out. In addition to having an impact on mental health, early marriage can also have a bad impact on the physical, especially women if they have to contain and give birth to minors with imperfect reproductive organs.
