"Child brides," defined as girls who married before the age of 18, experience significant risks to their health and development due to interruption of schooling, social isolation, and early pregnancy (Machel, Pires, & Carlsson, 2013). Yet the practice of child marriage is sustained around the globe owing to historical, cultural, and family practices. While the impact of child marriage on women's civil rights, health, and welfare are well documented (Rosenberg, 2012), only limited research exists about the lived experiences of child brides within their family and culture. Furthermore, little is known about how child brides develop their identities and gender roles as they adapt and mature within family systems that sustain this practice. As an insider researcher, I conducted a descriptive phenomenological study (Giorgi, 2009) to better understand the lived experiences of child brides in Turkey. This qualitative phenomenological research explored the lived experiences of 10 adult women participated in this study, to examine the following question: "What was it like to be a child bride living in Turkey?" I used interviews to gather these women's reflections on their lived experiences including their ideas about their identity and gender roles. Inspired by feminist and social learning theories, the interviews explored child brides' ideas about their gender roles that developed from adolescence into adulthood. Ten participants took part in the study by partaking in semi-structured interviews to explore their lived experiences as child brides in Turkey. Analysis of the interview data identified several themes: childhood, literacy, social pressure, marriage, and lineage. Findings from this study expanded our understanding of child brides' experiences within their families and culture that sustains this practice. This study brought a conceptual approach to the subject of child marriage for the first time. Therefore, this research may also help with developing new intervention special strategies against the practice of child marriage in Turkey. It also offers a unique perspective into child marriage in Turkey, presents the opportunity for future research, and supports research that includes child brides' perspectives and validates their experiences. This research will help counselors, educators, researchers and policy makers better understand the biopsychosocial development of child brides. This, in turn, could support culturally appropriate education, interventions, and advocacy for the millions of child brides around the world.
