Abstract

Marriage dispensation is a granting of the right to a person to marry even though they have not reached the minimum age limit for marriage. Marriage dispensation is regulated in Article 7 paragraph (2) of Law No. 16 of 2019 amending Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriage. Underage marriage or so-called early marriage is a marriage carried out by a person who is still under the age specified in the statutory regulations. In Law No. 16 of 2019 it is stated that permission to marry is given if the man and woman are 19 years old. If it will be done under that age, it can be done through a marriage dispensation at the Religious Court. This shows that the application for a marriage dispensation case is a major concern of the Government as an effort to minimize the practice of underage marriage in Indonesia. This type of research is field research. Field research is research conducted by collecting data and information obtained directly from the research location, which aims to study intensively about the background of the current situation and environmental interactions of a social group, individual, institution or community. The results of the study showed that there are several factors that cause early marriage, namely economic factors, educational factors, customary and habit factors. From this it can be said that the factors that cause early marriage are due to poor economic factors in society, low educational factors in society, and customary and habit factors in society to marry off their children at an early age
