Abstract

Data shows that Madura became one of the regions in Indonesia with the highest early marriage. Many kinds of literature also stated that early marriage brings adverse effects to individual psychological development. However, it does not always seem like so for Madurese Women married in such early age. Previous study results found that Madurese women managed to achieve harmony and happiness in her early marriage. Data also shows that those who had early marriage claimed to be able to reach subjective welfare. This research aimed to investigate further of the result on previous researches which discuss subjective well-being on Madurese Women who had an early marriage. Study of narrative literature was used as the methodology in this research. Results show that SES, education, religion, tradition, matchmaking since childhood, jampi-jampi (black magic practices), and manipulating married age were several factors which contributed to early marriage in Madurese. Prior research also found problems appeared in early marriage on Madurese such as domestic disharmony, difficulty in fulfilling household needs, parenting and child education issues, and incompatibility to partner which leads to divorce. Nevertheless, this research also found that Madurese women on early marriage could find harmony and happiness which could lead to achieving subjective well-being.
