“And as one of His Signs, He created mates for you from your souls that you may find rest in them. And He put between you love and mercy (compassion). Most surely there are signs in this for people who reflect” (1). Marriage is a men-women memorandum of understanding that leads to compatibility and agreement so that both parties undertake to support each other in any situation such as sadness, happiness, illness, along with wellness, poverty and wealth (2). In addition, adolescence is the transfer from childhood to adulthood and the greatest primary changes (i.e., physical, attitudinal, and behavioral) take place during this period (3). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the age range of 10-19 is considered adolescence (4). The average marriage age is still low in some regions despite the expansion of urbanization and the increase of the age of marriage (5). Further, teenage marriage refers to marriage under 18 (6). According to the obtained results of a study in the United States, more than 10% of women marry before 18, half of whom are 16 years or younger, and 1 per 9 (12%) marry at 14 or at younger age, however, the prevalence of this marriage is estimated at 40-50% in low and middle income countries (7). Statistical Center of Iran indicated that approximately 9.8% of women aged 10-19 have married at least once while 2.1% of them got divorced during this period (8). Based on previous research, teenage marriage increases the chance of poverty in the future by approximately 31% (9). Similarly, the main causes of increased earlyage relationships and informal marriages are known as poverty, dropout, and the lack of social and economic care (6). Moreover, the number of divorces is high in such marriages (7). In teenage marriage, adolescents face challenges such as perusing education for obtaining a diploma and early parenting (9). Furthermore, intimate partner violence (IPV) is one of the outcomes of these marriages. Violence against women by the sexual partner is a remarkable public health problem that manifests itself with inappropriate behaviors imposed by one person on the body, spirit, and psyche, ethics, and the culture of another person. It happens during Abstract Objectives: Teenage marriage results in social, cultural, and economic problems including domestic violence. Based on research evidence, the present study attempted to provide a documentary image of domestic violence in early marriages. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted by searching different databases such as Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, PubMed, Scientific Information Database, Google Scholar, Magiran, Irandoc, and Iranmedex for articles which were published during 2000-2018. To this end, MeSH keywords like “dating violence”, “intimate partner violence (IPV)”, “teenage marriage”, and “domestic violence” were utilized and thus a total of 176 articles were obtained and selected for review. Finally, the “Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations” (GRADE) approach was used to order the quality of evidence. Results: Based on the findings, the general prevalence of domestic violence varies from 7% to 48% in the world and from 10.7% to 93% in Iran. IPV is more prevalent in younger women and psychological and physical violence is higher in this group. In addition, the prevalence of domestic violence in pregnancy varies from 2% to 43.5%. Women experience more violence in three months prepregnancy, during the first six months of pregnancy, and three months after childbirth. During pregnancy, domestic violence is related to the complications of preterm labor, low birth weight, vaginal bleeding, and hospitalization. Eventually, depression, panic attacks, excessive alcohol use, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts are mental health disorders resulted from domestic violence. Conclusions: Overall, young women are the sacrifice of violence in their most active years of life, which is along with the most harm in society concerning health, economics, cultural, and social issues. Considering its high rate, teenage marriage can be prevented by increasing public awareness and the cooperation of related organizations.
