Early marriage is a serious issue in our society, which is faced by many girls and boys all over the world. In India, at least 1.5 million girls each year get married before they even turn 18. A large number is also applicable for boys. Due to various reasons, early marriage is still prevalent in our society. Early marriage can have a serious impact on psychological, physical, and emotional health. The paper will use the interview method to study the psychological impact of early marriages on adolescents. Using the random sampling method, 20 interviews are taken from the villages of Telangana for the study. The paper will study the different challenges that individuals face when married way too early and the awareness will be raised regarding the same. Studying the social consequences is also a part of the paper.
