There are groups of people who agree to increase the age of marriage, and there are groups against it. The importance of mature marriage is to reduce divorce rates, poverty rates, children dropping out of school, maternal and child mortality rates. On the other hand, some people still prioritize the legal requirements of marriage by fulfilling the provisions of Islamic law (alternative options) not cumulative as required in the conditions for a valid marriage in the UUP. The arguments of people against the increase of marriageable age are based on the background of community culture, economic conditions, and free lifestyle of teenager.

Age Of Marriage

The rules regarding the age limit for marriage as contained in Article 7 of Law no. 1 of 1974, which states that the minimum age of marriage for men is 19 years and for women is 16 years. These rules were amended through law no. 16 of 2019, which stipulates that the age limit for marriage, both for men and women, are in the same age, 19 years old. This change is intended to bring benefits of marriage minimizes the conflict in the household. But in fact, the changing age limit for marriage still creates some problems; for example, not a few Muslims view that in Islam, there are no provisions regarding age limits and there are dispensations for those forced to marry under a predetermined age. This research aims to find out the problematics of the law on changing the age limit for marriage. The research approach used qualitative with descriptive analysis methods and literature review. The results of the study indicate that there are several problems regarding the age limit between First, Islamic law does not stipulate a minimum age for marriage, so that some people do not heed the provision; Second, there are some rules regarding dispensation for those who want to get married at the age of 19 by putting forward to the court. This is an opportunity to violate the regulations; Third, changes to the law that have raised the age limit for marriage, in reality, in society, have not been able to stop the rate of early-age marriage.

Age Of Marriage

The legal regulation of the features of marriage in a minor age has a millennium history. The analysis of legal regulation of the marriage age in Russia, the Russian Empire and the RSFSR shows that the models of the legal regulation of the minimum marriage age are divided into simplified and differentiated ones (gender differentiated, nationally differentiated and socially differentiated models). The author concludes that in domestic legislation the minimum age of marriage always depended on various circumstances. Until 1926, there was a gender-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage. A nation-differentiated model existed in the prerevolutionary and Soviet era in relation to the inhabitants of Transcaucasia. Since 1926, in the territory of the RSFSR, a socio-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage was consolidated in law. According to this model the minimum age of marriage was reduced due to special social circumstances. Family laws of the Russian Federation made an unsuccessful attempt to implement the nation-differentiated model of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage. The modern Russian model of legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage is socio-differentiated. The paper also carries out a detailed comparison of the three socio-differentiated models of the legal regulation of the minimum age of marriage (the model under the Soviet Code of Marriage, Family and Custody of the RSFSR (1926—1968), the model under the Code of Marriage and Family of the RSFSR (1969—1995), the contemporary model); analyzes the differences and shortcomings of these models; suggests ways to eliminate them.

Indonesian Muslims have not maximally applied maturity of marriage age as an important aspect in obtaining marital success. Apart from the concept of maturity of diverse marriage age, divorces and many marital problems based on the immaturity of a married couple still rife in Indonesia. The government has even issued regulations related to the age of marriage through Law number 1 of 1974 that was revised by Law number 16 of 2019, which stipulates that marriage is limited to a minimum age of 19 years for the two brides. This article aims to find the concept of quality-oriented marriage age to complement the quantity-oriented idea as applied by the Indonesian government and as understood differently by Muslims based on the opinions of the scholars (‘ulamā). This article abstracts the concept of the ideal age of marriage from the instructions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH as the primary reference of Islamic teachings by discussing the hadīth using the ma‘ānī al-ḥadīṡ analysis with three interpretation techniques namely textual, intertextual, and contextual interpretation to obtain comprehensive meaning. The results of the examination show that the hadīth requires the criteria for the maturity of the marriage age in the form of religious, physical, financial, and social maturity. These qualitative criteria fulfill the element of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah and are interconnected so that they should be actualized as a new basis in the formulation of policies related to the maturity of marriage age in Muslim societies.

AbstractMarriage dispensation is a legal solution because most of the perpetrators of marriage dispensation are those who do not yet have formal legality to get married, so they then take the legal initiative so that marriages can be recognized. This study aims to determine the perspective of Islamic law, Marriage Law and Compilation of Islamic Law regarding marriage dispensation. The method used is qualitative with primary data sources from the Marriage Law, the Book of Fiqh and the Compilation of Islamic Law while secondary data are books, journals, magazines related to marriage dispensation. The results of this study found that Islamic law does not specifically regulate marriage dispensation because the majority of scholars only mention balig as a condition for marrying a person and do not specify a minimum age of marriage, whereas Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage and Compilation of Islamic Law strictly regulates underage marriage , i.e. must go through a court hearing mechanism to obtain a marriage dispensation permit.Keywords: Marriage Dispensation, Compilation of Islamic Law AbstrakDispensasi Nikah sebagai solusi hukum karena para pelaku dispensasi nikah kebanyakan mereka yang belum memiliki legalitas formal untuk menikah, sehingga kemudian mengambil ikhtiar hukum agar pernikahan yang dilakukan dapat diakui. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui perspektif hukum Islam, Undang-undang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam tentang dispensasi nikah. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan sumber data primer dari Undang-Undang Perkawinan, Kitab Fiqh dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam sedangkan data sekunder adalah buku-buku, jurnal, majalah yang terkait dengan dispensasi nikah. Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Hukum Islam tidak mengatur khusus dispensasi nikah karena mayoritas ulama hanya menyebutkan balig sebagai syarat menikah seseorang dan tidak menentukan minimal usia perkawinan, sedangkan Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan dan Kompilasi Hukum Islam mengatur ketat tentang perkawinan di bawah umur, yaitu harus melalui mekanisme sidang pengadilan untuk mendapatkan izin dispensasi perkawinanKata Kunci: Dispensasi Nikah, Kompilasi Hukum Islam

This paper aims to investigate how women or girls as daughters are administered in Islamic family laws and how they are awarded rights in regard to marriage. It also analyses how judges at Islamic courts solve the cases involving women as daughters. It, therefore, discusses how, according to Indonesian Islamic family law, women, as daughter could obtain permissions to get married when their parents are reluctant to marry them. It also discusses how they have also right to obtain permission to get married although they have not reached the minimum age of marriage. Investigating a number of judgments from Islamic courts of Central, South, West and East Jakarta and using socio-legal approach, this paper reveals that the proposal for marriage dispensation by parents at religious courts increased from year to year and that the proposals were often approved by judges. It also demonstrates that judges mostly conclude that the reluctance of parents to marry their daughters is based on legal reasons so that judges often decide to appoint ‘wali hakim’, as a substitute to ‘wali nasab’.

This study illustrates the paradigm of students at the Islamic boarding school Darussalam towards the target age of marriage. It is interesting to study when the target age is significantly analyzed in the perspective of female students. This is because, in general, marriages that occur among female students are known as arranged marriages. However, this paper explores the opinions of each female santri in determining the ideal marriage age limit for their perspective. Previously, it was reviewed in advance regarding the age regulation of maturity according to classical fiqh and the rules of legislation, in this case Law No. 1 of 1974 and compilation of Islamic Law (KHI). The final analysis is to analyze the results of a survey of about 30 female students of the Darussalam boarding school. Then proceed with classifying the age of marriage in four classifications, namely the age of marriage in an ideal level, sufficient, alert, and alert. The findings of this paper provide a clear picture that women's rights in determining the age of marriage are strongly influenced by their physical and mental maturity. Therefore, indirectly invalidated at least the age of 16 years for women regulated in the Act does not pay attention to the wishes of women themselves.

Age Of Marriage

The age of marriage is always a polemic in the household. This is based on the view that the age of marriage that is not mature mentally, physically, psychologically, and education is susceptible to unstable attitudes in taking policies or decisions. So that it is feared that they have not been able to respond to problems in the marriage. Indonesia is a country with Muslims as a major population regulating the minimum age of marriage, as well as Muslim countries in the world. The research method used is the juridicalnormative approach. There are someconclusions obtained. First, the Shari'a does not explicitly set a minimum age for marriage, but legal age and understanding are elements that must be fulfilled for prospective brides, and especially for husbands who are positioned as heads of families. Second, every Islamic country, including Indonesia, has different rules regarding the minimum age of marriage, but the purpose of the restriction remains the same, which is to form a partner who is physically and resourcefully ready to build a sakinah household.Keywords: Rules; Age; Marriage

The enactment of Islamic law during colonialism was marked by the thought of Sayyid Usman, a historical figure who had a great interest in the study of Islamic law in Indonesia during the Dutch East Indies colonization. As a scholar, he has special attention to the continuity of Islamic law in Indonesia, especially regarding Islamic family law, which at that time had been widely practiced by people to replace customary law. In addition, he also contributed a lot of thoughts in the context of enforcing Islamic law by organizing religious justice institutions and compiling Islamic family law. Formally the institutions of religious justice, especially in Java and Madura, were only formed by the Dutch East Indies government in 1882, through the Staatsblad 1882 No. 152. This formation is at once a measure of the reorganization of religious justice institutions, namely by establishing new religious courts in addition to each landraad (the same court) with the same legal area, on average as large as the district. It's just that if before the religious court was independent, then with this reorganization the power to carry out the verdict was handed over to landraad. K.F. Holle, L.W.C. Van den Berg, and Snouck Hurgronje, these three Dutch people were very influential in the birth of the theory of the enactment of Islamic law in Indonesia, L.W.C. Van den Berg is one of the initiators of the theory of receptio in complexu, which states that "for Muslims full Islamic law applies because he has embraced Islam even though there are still deviations in its implementation. Next to L.W.C. Van den Berg carries the theory of receptio in complexu, and Snouck Hurgronje as the originator of receptie theory, which states that for indigenous people basically customary law applies, and Islamic law applies to indigenous people if Islamic legal norms have been accepted by society as customary law.

The role of women, according to classical fiqh (Islamic law) literature, especially fiqh al-Munakah}at (Islamic family law), tends to be regarded as a complementary part of domestic life. Their role is limited to the domestic territory, and restrain to play a public role. This paper tries to reconstruct the role of women in Islamic family law, utilizing the new fiqh paradigm initiated by Jamal al-Banna. To answer this problem, the author conducted a literature study by examining two works of Jamal: Nah}wa Fiqhin Jadid and Al-Mar'ah al-Muslimah bayna Tah}rir Al-Qur'an wa Taqyid al-Fuqaha'. This paper concludes that some issues regarding the role of women in Islamic family law need renewal. There are four crucial issues that are reviewed using the new fiqh paradigm of Jamal al-Banna, namely the minimum age of marriage, wali’s ijbar rights, polygamy, and divorce.
