Objective (s): The objective of this study was to investigate on pre-marriage relationship between young adolescents from male students’ perspectives.
Method: This was a qualitative study of a sample of 20 male students. Focus group discussions were conducted to collect data. Content analysis was performed to explore the data.
Results: Three themes emerged from the analysis: motivation for pre-marriage relationship; facilitating and preventive sexual behaviors, reproductive health needs.
Conclusion: Larger scale studies are needed to understand the topic more fully. However, as indicated by young male students there are different reasons for pre-marriage relationship between girls and boys. Such data could contribute to implementing more reproductive health orientated interventions in order to improve adolescents’ health.
