Paternity and traditional social structure are the product of a mind that legalizes marriages in the early age. With the early marriages, which are a product of this mindset, there are inequal relationships between women and men, and this inequality from the point of view of the woman is increasing. This is one of the most important indicators of this situation, especially in early marriages, that more girls are exposed to boys than boys. The study examined the social gender perception of women who married early. The aim of the study is to reveal how the social gender roles in early marriage are established from the expressions of women who are younger than 18 years of age, the difficulties they experience in their marriage, the expectations of marriage, the social gender inequality that is experienced during the role sharing, in other words, the social gender perception. From here, the study was conducted by using a semi-constructed conversation form with 15 women in the Pain Province and through deep conversations. In this framework, the research is of importance to apply to women who are early married in terms of addressing their social gender roles. The study found that in early marriages, gender inequality towards women increased further and fell to a secondary position in terms of gender roles.
