Abstract

This study aims to identify the causes of women marrying at an early age and participation in family planning programs. Field findings indicate the causes of women in Klampis Subdistrict, Bangkalan Regency, were married at an early age, partly due to factors of education, economy, and sociocultural conditions. Construction of the community still considers that education is not an important aspect. In terms of sociocultural, the construction of society in general, which considers that a woman must be married immediately for reasons to save the family's self-esteem as an effort to avoid children from promiscuity. The strength of patriarchal culture places women in a very low bargaining position. After marriage, a new phenomenon emerged, namely discrimination and the practice of violence against women, such as physical violence and symbolic violence. Regarding family planning, the wife wants to have two children, but the husband wants more than two children with the distance between children is not too close. Parents of informants have a big influence on the process of determining the number of children. From the aspect of participation in the family planning program, informants have a low awareness of participating in family planning because they are afraid of damaging their contents. However, for informants who took part in family planning with the reason that they no longer have children. The actors who influence the decision-making process to join the family planning program are husband and parents.
