The fight against early marriages is one of the most prominent problems in contemporary times to protect the human rights of children. These have a number of negative effects, including depriving young people, particularly girls, of education and future prospects, health risks due to premature birth, perpetuates gender stereotypes and can cause psychological distress. Considering this, this work analyzes the socio-pedagogical reasons for early marriages in Azerbaijan, which significantly affect the development and regulation of the family institution, which plays a fundamental role in the socio-economic dynamics of society. At the same time, the legal regulation of the conditions necessary to contract marriage, and the negative situations that exist in this area, were analyzed. Surveys were conducted in several regions of Azerbaijan where it was confirmed that early marriages remain common. Against such marriages, the responsibilities of the family, school and society were defined, concluding the need to address this problem more vigorously in legislation. Finally, there are presented suggestions that can help prevent early marriages.
