Although the Indonesian Marriage Law of 1974 set a minimum age of marriage for females of 16, among some groups – notably Sundanese in West Java and Madurese in East Java – early marriage remained common well after the Marriage Law was promulgated. Early marriage has since declined but certainly not disappeared among these groups. This paper analyses trends in early marriage and reports on a field study among the Madurese.

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.

This article points to trace the epistemological roots of early marriage to and reinforce the importance of Islamic Family law reform, particularly related to raising the minimum age of marriage. This article is the result of the research literature with a qualitative descriptive method using a theoretical approach maqashid al-sharia. Early marriage is the result of interpretation of scholars' to Q.S. Ath-Thalaq [65]: 4 which signaled the waiting period for those who do not menstruate. Islam does not provide ideal age limits in marriage. Marriages can be performed by the bride that has been not or already baligh if it has been qualified to do harmonious marriage. However, the scholars' proposed the opinions about puberty age limit for men and women and the permissibility of marrying someone in the age of the children. The decision to give an age limit in marriage for arising maslahah. Marriage age limit should be revised in view of the negative impacts arising from the early marriage models, such as women's reproductive health issues, financial problems of the family and divorce. Model of early marriage can no longer practiced because it is inconsistent with maqashid al-nikah that is to build a harmonious family.<br />Artikel ini bertujuan melacak akar epistimologis perkawinan dini serta menguatkan argumentasi pentingnya pembaharuan hukum keluarga Islam, khususnya terkait menaikkan<br />batas minimal usia perkawinan. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian kepustakaan dengan metode deskriptif-kualitatif dan menggunakan pendekatan teori maqashid al-syariah. Perkawinan dini merupakan hasil tafsir ulama’ terhadap Q.S. Ath-Thalaq [65]: 4 yang mengisyaratkan iddah bagi mereka yang belum haid. Islam tidak memberikan batasan umur ideal dalam pernikahan. Perkawinan dapat dilakukan oleh calon mempelai yang belum atau sudah baligh jika telah memenuhi syarat dan rukun pernikahan. Meskipun demikian, para ulama’ berbeda pendapat tentang batas usia baligh bagi laki-laki dan perempuan dan kebolehan menikahkan seseorang pada usia anak-anak. Umat Islam diperbolehkan memberikan batasan usia dalam perkawinan untuk menimbulkan kemaslahatan. Batas usia pernikahan perlu direvisi mengingat berbagai dampak negatif yang muncul akibat model pernikahan ini, misalnya masalah kesehatan reproduksi perempuan, persoalan ekonomi keluarga, hingga perceraian. Model perkawinan ini tidak dapat lagi dipraktikkan karena tidak sejalan dengan maqashid al-nikah yaitu membangun keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah dan rahmah.

In this paper I want to compare of legal law in Indonesia and Pakistan about early marriage. In Indonesia, marriage law No. 1/ 1974 explained that the limit of age of marriage is sixteen (16) years for women and nineteen (19) years for men. In Pakistan, after the 1961 MFLO amendment, Pakistan established the minimum age of marriage under the Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, is eighteen (18) years for men and sixteen (16) years for women. In addition to Law No. 1 of 1974, in Indonesia, the KHI is clearly repeating Article 15 Paragraph (2), for candidates who have not reached the age of 21 years, they must obtain permission as provided in Article 6 Paragraph (2), (3), (4), and (5) of Law No. 1 year 1974. Otherwise, in Indonesia this regulation is slower than other perversions country that I mention. The questions in this paper are; first, why does the legislation of Indonesia provides dispensation of marriage in the Court for prospective couples under the age of marriage? Second, why does Pakistan's legislation give prison sanctions and penalties for married couples under the age of marriage? Thirdly, why does the legislation of Indonesia and Pakistan implement different determination of law for early marriage? The conclusion; if both prospective brides are still below the minimum age for marriage, the parents of the two brides-to-be may submit a marriage dispensation in a religious court. Dispensation of this marriage is regulated in Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 3 year 1975, specifically for people who are Moslems. This matter the marriage law also provides an outlet as a solution if the minimum age requirement is not met. Otherwise, In Pakistan, Historically; the marriage of children is in conflict between those who feel established and those who want change by reforming their family law. So, MFLO 1961 came out of the outcome of the change of the Child Marriage Restraint Act 1929 to sanction marriage with fines and imprisonment for married couples who are married under the minimum age set for marriage. Even sanctions are given for parents, guardian, and marriage organizers as well as even more than the sanctions given to his son. Even if the renewal of Islamic law in the Indonesia have been done. Indonesia is somewhat late in doing Islamic law reform than Pakistan.

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.

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.
