Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of legal protection for children who enter into underage marriages in accordance with the provisions of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning marriage junto Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, with focused on the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) Tebing Tinggi District, Meranti Islands Regency. The phenomenon of underage marriage is a crucial issue involving many factors such as out-of-wedlock pregnancies, cultural norms and socio-economic conditions. The formulation of the problem in this research includes how legal protection is applied to children who enter into early marriage, whether it is in accordance with what the children should receive or not, and what obstacles are faced in implementing this policy. The method used in this research is juridical-empirical with a qualitative descriptive approach. This method is used to examine the application of law in practice in the field, especially in the implementation of marriages of minors. The descriptive-qualitative approach aims to provide an in-depth picture of the reality of law application in society based on data obtained through interviews, observations and study of related documents. The results of the research show that despite the revision of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning marriage, which previously set the minimum age limit for marriage for women at 16 years and men at 19 years, it became Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning amendments to Law Number 1 In 1974, which set the minimum age limit for marriage at 19 years for men and women, implementation in the field, especially at the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) of Tebing Tinggi Subdistrict, Meranti Islands, also still faces various obstacles. One loophole that is often exploited is through the marriage dispensation hearing at the Meranti Islands religious court. The application of this marriage dispensation often creates a loophole for underage marriages because most cases are caused by pregnancy before marriage, with the level of public understanding of the regulations still low. Other obstacles include weak supervision and minimal law enforcement. The conclusion of this research confirms that legal protection for children entering into early marriage still requires strengthening, both in terms of legal education to the community and stricter enforcement of regulations. Recommendations are given to increase synergy between related agencies and provide education to the public regarding the risks of underage marriage.
