Abstract:
The research aimed to find out how peer pressure and early marriages relate to one another in Uganda, focused on the Kakumiiro District Local Government. The study's major and specialized aims, as well as the research questions that formed the basis of its discoveries, served as its guiding principles. To gather as much data as feasible, the researcher used a variety of primary, secondary, and information gathering approaches. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered the researcher's capacity to physically interact with trustworthy respondents, and financial restrictions restricted her ability to go around to gather data from various sources scattered throughout the area. The biasedness tended to vanish as the sample size grew larger and larger. However, the study found out that there is a close correlation between peer pressure and early marriages as many teenagers are driven into unwanted marriages by the influence exerted on them by their peers in their communities. This calls for instant government attention so as to address the vice.
