Öz: Bu çalışmanın amacı, evlenmek amacıyla evden kaçan kız ergenlerin; kaçma nedenleri, aile dinamikleri, ebeveyn ilişkileri, destek kaynakları ve benlik algılarını anlamaktır. Denizli’nin bir ilçesinde evden kaçarak evlenen 10 kadın katılımcı çalışma grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların yaşları 16 ile 21 arasında değişmektedir. Çalışmanın temel amacının bütüncül bir yaklaşımla aydınlatılabilmesi için, nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış, “Olgubilim” araştırmanın deseni olarak seçilmiştir. Görüşme Formu veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde tümevarımcı analiz yöntemine bağlı olarak kodlamaya dayalı içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan kodlardan yola çıkılarak kodlar arası ilişkilere, bir diğer deyişle temalara ulaşılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, evden kaçarak evlenen kız ergenlerin kaçma nedenleri açısından birbirlerinden farklılaştığını göstermektedir. Analiz sonuçları ayrıca, katılımcıların kaçma öncesinde aileleriyle sorunlar yaşadıklarını, çoğunun ailelerinde iletişimsizliğin, sosyal destek yokluğunun ortak temalar olduğunu ve ailelerin katılımcıların gereksinimlerini yeterince karşılamadıklarını göstermektedir. Benzer şekilde, katılımcıların çoğu, kendilerini ailelerinin anlamlı bir parçası olarak algılamadıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Son olarak, kaçma sonrasında katılımcıların çoğunun yoğun hayal kırıklıkları yaşadıkları ve beklentilerinin karşılanmadığı görülmektedir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular alan yazınla ilişkisi çerçevesinde tartışılmış ve bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
