The study is to analyze the reasons women persist in toxic marriages, especially in premature cases of unwed pregnancies. The study uses a qualitative approach with a string of phenomena. The phenomenological approach seeks to understand human life events within the framework of thoughts and behaviors as perceived or interpreted by the individuals themselves. The subject of this study was "DS", a victim of domestic violence. The data analysis technique used in this study is data reduction. The result show that women's decisions to remain viable are based on considerations for the future of children, social and cultural pressures, and an understanding of religious values. Despite negative effects such as mental, physical health disorders, and a reduction in economic well-being, the informant still chooses to stay married. These findings show the importance of family support, early sexual education, and psychological assistance for women in the face of an unhealthy marriage. Social and religious backgrounds also influence early marriage which varies among communities.
