Until now the issue of child marriage in NTB has not yet been resolved. The issue of child marriage in NTB has not been completed because the roots of child marriage in NTB have not touched the root of the real problem. Therefore there must be a more comprehensive policy breakthrough to prevent the prevention of child marriage in NTB. There is a need for a legal policy to prevent child marriages in NTB that needs scientific studies as the basis for scientific legitimacy about the urgency of the existence of regional regulations to prevent child marriage. There are two problems in this research, first, What is the juridical problem in the policy of preventing the occurrence of child marriage in NTB? Second, what is the right and applicable policy model in preventing the occurrence of child marriage in NTB? This research is normative legal research with a focus on evaluating the policy of preventing child marriage that has been taken by the NTB provincial government. The research approach used is a normative approach and an empirical approach.The results showed that the first, juridical barriers to preventing child marriage in NTB not only had juridical obstacles in terms of the validity of the provisions of article 7 paragraph (1) of the marriage law that regulates the minimum age of marriage is 16 years for women, but also still has obstacles juridical relating to the legal policy on the regulation of child marriages in the content of regional regulations because the local regulation must not conflict with article 7 paragraph (1) of the marriage law which is still valid and other constraints are not operational and the effective decision of the constitutional court No. 22 / PUU / XV / 2017 concerning judicial review of Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage because this decision only delayed the implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision in 2021 and was very dependent on legislative policy from the DPR and the President to amend Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage according to the order of the Constitutional Court's decision. Second, the appropriate and applicable policy model in preventing the occurrence of child marriages in NTB is done using the transitional policy model and post-transition policy. The transition policy is carried out by making regulations that regulate the prevention of child marriages by using the child protection paradigm, while post-transition policies are carried out using the family quality policy paradigm with a focus on increasing the age of marriage. legislation. First, the Republic of Indonesia Parliament, especially the Republic of Indonesia Parliament for the period 2019-2024 and the President should immediately follow up on Decision No. 22 / PUU / XV / 2017 by taking legislative policies by entering the amendment bill to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage into a national legislation program which is subsequently compiled, discussed and stipulated as law. Second, to respond to the dynamic dynamics of marital law and child protection, the NTB Governor and the NTB DPRD should immediately take legislation in the regions by including the draft regulation on the prevention of child marriages in the 2019 local regulation formation program and then compile and discuss it into regional regulations.

Child marriages are common throughout Indonesia. This is due to a strong influence of Indonesian customs and religion that strongly influence the lives of its people. It is worth pointing that marriage age arrangements in Indonesian Marriage Law reinforces that legal age for men is 19 years and 16 years for women. The 2012 statistics show that Indonesia is the 37th highest in the world in child marriage, while at the Southeast Asian level, this country ranks second after Cambodia. The ranking went up dramatically since in 2016, based on UNICEF, Indonesia ranked the 7th in child marriage worldwide. This means that the practice of child marriage in Indonesia happens, especially to women at the age of 18 years, and there is no discrimination related to the age of marriage. Against this matter, there has been a file for judicial review that demands marriage age for men and women to be pegged at the age of 18 years. However, the Judge of the Constitutional Court, through Decision Number 30-74/PUU-XII/2014, states that age of marriage remains valid for the 19-year-old for man and 16-year-old for women. The struggle does not stop there because at this time, there a national movement of STOP CHILD MARRIAGE formed by civil organisations in cooperation with the Commission of Child Protection and Ministry of Woman Empowerment and Child Protection. This movement sees that the practice of child marriage is a national emergency problem that must be addressed seriously. Further, this movement demands immediate enactment of government regulation in favour of the law which must promptly revise the Marriage Law, especially related to the marriage age.

Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia (Walhi) of East Java noted that 30% of forest in East Java is deforested every year due to land conversion, illegal logging, fire, and erosion. In fact, East Java has a legal policy in the form of local regulations that have a spirit against deforestation. However, the policy of such law substantially contains problematics, for example, the equation of formulation of criminal acts with the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 18 of 2013 on Prevention and Eradication of Forest Destruction, which resulted in the regional regulations will be ruled out. Therefore, this conceptual study offers an idea of ​​the need for an update to the criminalization policy on deforestation in the local regulation. In the future, the criminalization policy on deforestation in regional regulations in East Java should contain specific and unregulated formulations of criminal acts in the law, for example, prohibit any form of action that results in the capacity of communities to participate in the prevention and eradication of deforestation practices.

ABSTRACT: Marriage is one important part in the journey of human’s life. According to the Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, Article 1: Marriage is a physical-mental bond between a man and a woman, as a husband and a wife, aiming to create an eternal and happy family/household based on God Almighty. Marriage aims to create a happy and eternal family/household.Article 7 (1) of the Marriage Law stipulates and regulates the age limit for a marriage. A marriage is allowed when the man is at least 19 (nineteen) years old, and the woman is at least 16 (sixteen) years old. Next in the verse 2 is stated that in the event of deviating the verse 1, this article is able to request a dispensation from the Court or other Officials which is appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman. Therefore, a dispensation from the Court or other Officials, which is appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman, is required in order to hold a marriage if those minimum ages are not attained yet.Indeed, a dispensation is able to be justified based on the law aspect (a dispensation is required from the Court or other Officials, appointed by both the parents of the man and the woman, if those minimum ages are not attained yet). The submission of an application for the marriage dispensation to the Court is a legal step, chosen by the applicant in order to legalize their marriage. However, the space for dispensing various forms of child marriage is in fact a form of violation towards the children’s rights, as stated in the legal consideration of the Decree of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia No. 22/PUU-XV/2017.Keyword: Marriage, Dispensation, Decree of Law ABSTRAK: Perkawinan merupakan salah satu bagian terpenting dalam perjalanan kehidupan manusia. Menurut ketentuan Undang-undang No. 1 Tahun 1974 tentang Perkawinan Pasal 1 : perkawinan adalah ikatan lahir batin antara seorang pria dengan seorang wanita sebagai suami isteri dengan tujuan untuk membentuk keluarga / rumah tangga yang bahagia dan kekal berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa  Tujuan perkawinan adalah untuk membentuk keluarga / rumahtangga yang bahagia dan kekal.Pasal 7 (1) Undang-undang Perkawinan menetapkan dan mengatur perihal batas umur untuk melangsungkan perkawinan ; Perkawinan hanya diijinkan jika pihak pria sudah mencapai umur 19 (sembilan belas) tahun dan pihak wanita sudah mencapai umur 16 (enam belas) tahun. Selanjutnya dalam ayat 2 disebutkan bahwa; dalam hal penyimpangan terhadap ayat (1) pasal ini dapat meminta dispensasi kepada Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita. Dengan demikian apabila belum mencapai umur tersebut apabila hendak melangsungkan perkawinan diperlukan dispensasi dari Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita.Dari aspek hukum pemberian dispensasi memang dapat dibenarkan (apabila belum mencapai umur tersebut, untuk melangsungkan perkawinan diperlukan dispensasi dari Pengadilan atau Pejabat lain yang ditunjuk oleh kedua orangtua pihak pria maupun pihak wanita). Pengajuan permohonan dispensasi perkawinan ke Pengadilan adalah langkah hukum yang dipilih oleh Pemohon untuk melegalkan perkawinan. Akan tetapi “ruang” pemberian dispensasi terhadap berbagai bentuk perkawinan anak sebetulnya juga merupakan salah satu bentuk “pelanggaran” terhadap hak-hak anak, sebagai mana dinayatakan dalam pertimbangan hukum Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No. 22/PUU-XV/2017.Kata Kunci: Perkawinan, Dispensasi, Dekresi Hukum

Legal certainty and firmness must exist in a law or regulation. Because without legal certainty, the rights of legal subjects will be taken away and neglected. Likewise, without strictness in the law, it will make legal subjects feel worried and insecure because they feel that the law does not provide protection for them. Law Number 16 Year 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 Year 1974 is deemed not to have legal certainty and firmness, because the stipulation of the age limit for marriage in this law only considers and is based on Law Number 35 Year 2014 concerning Amendments to Law Number 23 Year 2002 Concerning Child Protection. Furthermore, Law Number 16 Year 2019 still provides an opportunity for the Indonesian people to carry out child marriage. Law Number 16 Year 2019 must look at various other legal aspects and have clear legal consequences, so a comprehensive revision of this law is required. Even if possible, Law Number 1 Year 1974 must be reviewed and adjusted to the current and future legal problems. By applying the concept of benefit and rejecting harm in a law or regulation, the objectives of the law or regulation will be achieved and become effective.

The prevalence of child marriage in Indonesia, although it has declined over the last three decades, remains in a high rate. Child marriage is indirectly legitimated by the Indonesian Marriage Law of 1974 which states that the minimum age limit of the bride shall be 16 years old. This is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the Child Protection Law. Child marriages in rural areas are not only driven by structures like family and society but are also initiated by individual actions driven by the agency. Therefore, this study examined child marriage practice comprehensively through the perspective of Giddens's structuration. This study aimed to identify the agents in child marriage practice. The results of the study found that there are two types of child marriages in rural areas. The first one is registered and the other is unregistered marriage. The identified agents in child marriage practice are girls, amil (assistant of marriage recording officer), Religious Affairs (KUA) officers, peer groups, teachers, mothers, and spouses. Each agent's action is affected by both structure and agency. Girl's actions are influenced by the agency. The girls are able to do agency in and through social practice. Girls’ agency produces meaningful action understood as a process and inherent to the agent through reflexive monitoring. Meanwhile, the actions of other identified agents are influenced by the existing structures in the society. Agent’s actions perpetuate child marriage practice. Child marriage practice occurs because there is no family strength. Therefore, the improvement of the family strength is needed as a constraining structure.

The policy of minimum age for marriage is set out in Act No. 1 of 1974 On Marriage, which is 19 years for men and 16 years for women. According to Act No. 35 of 2014 On Child Protection, the age of 16 is still a child. Therefore, the policy of minimum age for marriage is open up the potential for child marriage. Various previous researches indicate that child marriages has the potential to cause negative impacts for both the child itself and the social life widely. Accordingly, revising the policy of minimum age for marriage is very important. This study uses the socio legal method where the law is not only conceptualized as a set of rules, but also as a behavior. In this method, legal validity is not only determined by norms, but also from the facts that grow and develop in society. The results showed that revising of minimum age for marriage has a philosophical, sociological and juridical basis. Child marriage has an impact on social life because it can lead to a cycle of sustainable poverty, increased illiteracy, poor health to future generations, and robbing of wider community productivity both in the short term and long term.

Marriage is the inner bond between a man and a woman as a husband and wife with the aim of forming a happy and eternal family (household) based on the One Supreme God (Article 1 of the Marriage Law). Based on the article, it can be seen that the purpose of marriage is to establish a happiness and an eternal household based on the One God.
