Child marriage is one of the issues that deprive many young girls of their basic rights and lives. The present study aimed to explore Iranian child brides’ experiences of the consequences of early marriage. The participants were women living in Tehran who had married at the age of 14–18 years. The analysis of the participants’ experiences revealed four main themes, including ‘underlying causes of early marriages’, ‘concerns and negative feelings’, ‘exposure to violence’, and ‘consequences of early marriages’. Awareness of these challenges can provide useful insights to be used by social workers and policymakers to further support these women.

儿童新娘，一个永无止境的故事：看看伊朗妇女的经历

童婚是剥夺许多年轻女孩基本权利和生活的问题之一。本研究旨在探讨伊朗童养媳对早婚后果的体验。参与者是居住在德黑兰的女性，她们在 14-18 岁之间结婚。对参与者经历的分析揭示了四个主要主题，包括“早婚的根本原因”、“担忧和负面情绪”、“遭受暴力”和“早婚的后果”。对这些挑战的认识可以为社会工作者和政策制定者提供有用的见解，以进一步支持这些妇女。
