Legal Politics of Affidavit Prohibited Marriage for Junior High School Student

Abstract

The background of the research was the existence of a statement letter prohibiting marriage for junior high school students in the city of Surakarta-Solo, which was later withdrawn by the school. The rules have been in effect for five years, the revocation is motivated by the wishes of the parents. The fact is that many junior high school children are now married. Through normative legal research methods, it examines problems regarding marriage prohibitions and then looks at the flow of legal politics policies that give birth to policies on the age limit for marriage. The discussion focuses on national legal politics regarding the age limit for marriage for men and women by looking at phenomena in the world of education. Judging from the minimum age, then like the government's anxiety regarding the world of education, the issuance of the Constitutional Court's decision was greeted by the issuance of a law to limit the age of marriage to nineteen years. Regulations in the form of laws regarding the limitation of the minimum age for marriage are basically not laws. If anyone seems to disagree with the rules, it is forbidden to marry at the junior high school level, which basically has the same goal, namely to anticipate early marriage.
