One of the many social structures created to regulate and control human life is marriage. It is the accepted social model in which a family is formed by at least two individuals. However, a marriage that does not follow the traditional path or that disregards fundamental human rights standards raises fundamental social difficulties with complex consequences. The present examination explores different causes and results of early marriage in Pakistani society. The aim to acquire or maintain power and control over a personal conflict is characterized by harsh conduct, such as aggressive behavior at home. Aggressive behavior reception and psychological pattern square measure practices utilized by one individual in a relationship to manage the opposite place or other relatives. This research study was conducted in Layyah, Punjab, Pakistan. For data collection, a specific range of people were targeted to get the best results, and then SPSS was used to analyze the data. Mostly, young brides were not in favor of early marriage. They said that in early marriage, they have to face many social, economic, psychological, and physical problems. They said they were not ready to hold this kind of responsibility at a young age.
