Abstract

Subjective Well-Being is a scientific term that refers to happiness, which includes individuals’ affective and cognitive evaluations of their lives. This study aims to analyze Subjective Well-Being among women who engage in early marriage. Using a qualitative approach and a case study design, the research involved two participants who married under the age of 18. The results of the interviews indicate that different marriage experiences, in terms of both reasons for marriage and social support, influence their levels of Subjective Well-Being. Participants who married for love experienced higher levels of Subjective Well-Being compared to those who married through arranged marriages. Although both participants felt happiness during childbirth, they also faced emotional challenges and difficult situations that negatively impacted their well-being. These findings highlight the importance of social support and emotional stability in enhancing the Subjective Well-Being of women who marry at an early age.
