Not so much health..: Early marriage does not, in itself, pose significant risks to one's physical health. However there can be risks to one's emotional health. Early marriage places one at higher risk for divorce and possible low social economic status, both of which are stressors. Stressors can, over time, can have a negative impact on physical health and can negatively impact emotional health as well.

Marriage: There are no known health risks other than divoroce is higher among young marriages adn thus can create more stress, which in turn can compromise health if in excess. Best.
