Women resistance to early-age marriage in Wadon Ora Didol: Critical discourse analysis

Background: Wadon Ora Didol is a documentary film highlighting women’s resistance to the problem of early marriage. The rise of early marriage in Indramayu is a serious problem regarding the exploitation and objectification of women. This is actually related to the traditions and culture of Indramayu, thus, it is giving rise to a feminist-based resistance movement against these traditions. Purpose: This article aims to analyze and describe the resistance carried out by women against early-age marriage in the film Wadon Ora Didol through critical discourse analysis of Sara Mills. Methods: It uses a descriptive research approach, with primary data collection through documentation on selected scenes and relevant literature studies. Data findings were analyzed using theories of resistance and feminism. Results: There is women’s resistance in the film Wadon Ora Didol, which is identified through two positions: first, as the subject of resistance displayed by demonstrators and their efforts to revise laws of marriage; second, a slight object position through scenes showing the exploitation and objectification of women. Dominantly, Wadon Ora Didol proves that women are the main actors who are constructed to be able to fight, be independent, and be free to express and convey criticism of the problem of early-age marriage. This film also presents women who are responsive to caring about the fate of other women, both domestically and publicly, so that all individuals are equal and have their rights to freedom. Implications: These findings provide social criticism of the importance of women’s rights in society, as well as their struggle for existence in feminism. It is hoped that the results can provide other aspects to increase public awareness to be more responsive to social problems and exploitation of women, especially regarding early marriage.

Ideally, marriage is carried out by those who are mentally ready and old, but it is not uncommon to find many marriages under the age set by law. The marriage age limit is regulated in Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Marriage, namely both men and women must be at least 19 years old. Data from UNICEF states that Indonesia alone has 1.2 million cases of underage marriage.

Polyamory in Black: A Companion Justification for Minimal Marriage

ABSTRACTA number of Black writers have cast Black marriage in a state of emergency – Black folks are not getting (or staying) married like they used to. Yet in seeking to address the Black marriage problem many have left marriage's ‘monogamous‐only’ condition unexamined. In this article, I take a different approach. I draw on a long‐standing prevalence of de facto non‐monogamy among those marked Black and argue that the numerical constraint making marriage between two people violates equal treatment. To make the case, I show how anti‐non‐monogamy attitudes have been racialized in ways that are expressive of anti‐Blackness. In my view, the effects of this racialization include ongoing and disproportionate impacts on an already burdened group – Black polyamorists. A failure to reform the monogamous‐only condition of marriage tacitly endorses anti‐non‐monogamous attitudes of the past where Black intimate relationships were thought inferior and therefore deserving of an inferior social standing. Finally, I look to an account of minimal marriage as a site of possibility for establishing a marriage institution that is more just in relation to equal treatment and a site of repair for racialized non‐monogamists whose historical denial to accessing marriage has had the effect of accumulated social and political disadvantage.

Comparison of Early Marriage Age in Bangladesh, Ghana, Iraq and Indonesia

Early marriage is marriage before the age of 18 for either boys or girls. Early marriage can be influenced by customs, beliefs and religion. Customs in some areas lead to girls marrying much older men and have occurred in parts of Indonesia, especially in rural and inland areas. This study aims to examine the socio-cultural factors that drive the incidence of early marriage. The main methods in this research are qualitative ethnography and Narrative review. From the literature review research analyzed, there are several factors that influence early marriage, namely knowledge, education, socio-culture, income, economy, social norms, parents, gender, ethnicity, age, menarche, attitudes, media exposure, premarital pregnancy, family members, religion, adulthood phenomena, employment, peer influence, poverty, parental role, stigma, region and place of residence. This can be used as a reference for midwives in providing services by searching the literature through PubMed, NCBI, and Semantic Scholar. Of the several factors that influence early marriage, studies conducted in Bangladesh, Ghana, Iraq, Indonesia and other countries show that early marriage is still a major problem for the welfare of women from these four countries. Measures that can help address the problem of early marriage include improving access and quality of education, changing social norms that support early marriage, and empowering women to make decisions.

Kaidah Fiqih Hukum Keluarga Dan Penerapannya Dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan

The Qur'an's attention to the family is shown by the many verses that talk about family problems, from marriage problems to the problem of dividing inheritance. It is not only shown by the details of family problems regulated in it, but also by the verses that talk about various family rules. The facts that occur regarding marriage sometimes give rise to multiple interpretations among experts and the public, especially among Muslims. This article focuses on a review of Fiqh Rules or specifically Legal Rules (Qawaid al Ahkam) which are applied to resolve practical problems in Family Law. This rule classifies similar problems into one specific rule based on sources from the Koran and Hadith which are expected to make it easier to understand and resolve problems related to Family Law with normative application, namely Legislation on Marriage. This type of qualitative normative juridical research is research that refers to legal norms contained in legislation and norms that live and develop in society. The research results show that 1) The legal principles applied in Marriage law in Indonesia are the principle of monogamy, the principle of consensuality, the principle of proportionality and the principle of complete unity; 2) Fiqh rules in Islamic Family Law are applied in the Marriage Law with the aim of solving community problems within the scope of family and marriage law.

Itsbat Nikah: Legalizing marriage outside the record in Indonesia

This study focuses on the legal impact of marriage registration in the context of itsbat marriages in religious courts, particularly for marriages that occurred after 1974 without an official certificate and were not registered in the compilation of Islamic law (KHI). It aims to evaluate the itsbat marriage as a legal mechanism for recognizing marriages that are not officially registered. Normative analysis, a philosophical and analytical approach, serves as the research method, reviewing the relevant legal framework and court practice in handling divorce cases. The results showed that unregistered marriages after 1974 can be legally recognised through the itsbat nikah procedure. The Article 7, Paragraph 3, letter KHI, outlines the necessary conditions. With this procedure, spouses can receive written evidence of their marriage’s legality in the form of a marriage certificate, which is then registered by the official Religious Affairs office. This study emphasizes the importance of marriage registration for legal certainty and protection of individual rights, and highlights how itsbat nikah plays a critical role in addressing the problem of marriage without official registration.

Pernikahan dini perspektif hukum islam dan hukum positif

Islam strictly speaking does not have rules that determine the age limit for marriage, based on Islamic law basically all age levels can enter into marriage. In Islam, the conditions for marriage are 'aqil and puberty which do not look at age limits. The method used is library research, namely by reading and studying books and writings that are related to the object of discussion, namely early marriage according to Islamic law and statutory regulations in Indonesia. The results of this research include: Ulama have different opinions regarding the age of marriage, including: Most Maliki madzhab ulama are of the opinion that the age limit for menstruation for women and men is 17 years or 18 years. Abu Hanifah believes that the age of puberty is 19 years or 18 years for men and 17 years for women. Imam Syafi'i, Ahmad, Ibnu Wahab and Jumhur are of the opinion that this is at the perfect age of 15 years. According to Marriage Law no. 1/1974 as a positive law in force in Indonesia, sets the age limit for marriage at 19 years for men and 19 years for women. In article 6 paragraph (2), it is stated that a person is said to be an adult if they reach the age of 21 years, so that in carrying out a marriage there is no need to obtain permission from both parents. The problem of early marriage in Indonesia according to Islamic law and Law no. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is based on the interests of children's rights, so that children can spend their time playing and studying. Apart from that, it is also necessary to pay attention to the impacts caused by early marriage, because they are not mature in thinking and resolving problems in marriage. So the goal of a mawwadah and rahmah marriage is not achieved optimally.

A Map of Diverse Synthetic Stable Matching Instances

Focusing on Stable Roommates (SR), we contribute to the toolbox for conducting experiments for stable matching problems. We introduce the polynomial-time computable mutual attraction distance to measure the similarity of SR instances, analyze its properties, and use it to create a map of SR instances. This map visualizes 460 synthetic SR instances (each sampled from one of ten different statistical cultures) as follows: Each instance is a point in the plane, and two points are close on the map if the corresponding SR instances are similar with respect to our mutual attraction distance to each other. Subsequently, we conduct several illustrative experiments and depict their results on the map, illustrating the map’s usefulness as a non-aggregate visualization tool, the diversity of our generated dataset, and the need to use instances sampled from different statistical cultures. Lastly, we extend our approach to the bipartite Stable Marriage problem.

Gate-Cane: (Un)tying the knots between climate, cane, and early marriage in rural India

ABSTRACT In this article, I examine the multiple tensions and interactions between social reproduction and the trajectories of accumulation amidst climate change in India’s historically drought-prone Marathwada region. By linking everyday experiences to broader socioecological transformations, I draw on the local practice of Gate-Cane weddings in Marathwada, and situate it within the context of climate change, capitalist agriculture, and gendered labour relations. Specifically, I document the ways in which cyclical drought and peculiar labour arrangements in the sugarcane industry have multiplied the drivers and compounded the problem of early marriage in the region. I combine a feminist political ecology framework with social reproduction and girlhood theories to make a twofold argument: first, recurring dry spells, loss of local livelihoods and the urgency to migrate and survive, are aggravating the drivers of early marriage in Marathwada. Second, by absorbing the marital unit into the labour unit – marked by territorial dislocation, patriarchal control, and devaluation of young women’s and girls’ work – the sugar industry sustains and reproduces early marriage. The article is based on a multi-sited feminist ethnography, including intergenerational family conversations, group discussions, stakeholder interviews, and thick field notes documented in village households and cane fields between October 2020 and August 2021.

Sustaining Heteronormativity in Marriage: How Chinese Newspapers Frame Heterosexual Marriage Undertaken by Chinese Queer People

ABSTRACT Family members often cite broader societal discourses and norms when forcing Chinese queer people to engage in heterosexual marriage (referred to as HMQ; heterosexual marriage undertaken by Chinese queer people). It is unclear what these social norms entail and how the norms are maintained. This paper examines 89 Chinese newspaper articles to uncover the societal discourses driving families to pressure queer people into heterosexual marriage. We identified three framings: (1) Highlighting problems of formality marriage (the marriage between two queer people) and gay’s wife marriage (the marriage between a queer man and a heterosexual woman); (2) portraying people involved in formality marriage and gay’s wife marriage as suffering from heteronormative pressure to engage in marriage; and (3) presenting formality marriage in a collaboration frame and gay’s wife marriage in a deception frame. These framings suggest heteronormativity in marriage is upheld in societal discourses about HMQ and sustained by two hierarchies created in Chinese newspaper articles: one degrading queer marriage practices, which made heterosexual marriage undertaken by queer people inferior to ideal heterosexual marriage; another stratifying queer marriage practices, which made the marriage between a queer man and a heterosexual woman less acceptable than the marriage between two queer people.

ANALYSIS OF THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF ISLAMIC BIMAS CIRCULAR LETTER NO: P-005/DJ.III/HK.00.7/10/2021 CONCERNING HUSBAND'S MARRIAGE DURING THE WIFE'S IDDAH PERIOD

Marriages are carried out with the aim of achieving peace, inner and outer happiness, but along the way the marriage does not turn out as expected. There are many breakdowns in marriages. Not a few marriages even occur among ex-husbands during the Iddah period. This is not permitted considering that the husband still has responsibilities towards his wife who is still in the Iddah period. Based on this, this research aims to analyze husbands' marriage problems during the wife's iddah period at the East Lampung Religious Affairs Office, and after studying the Circular Letter of the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance Number P-005/DJ.III/Hk.00.7/10/2021. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical qualitative with secondary data and primary data from documents from the East Lampung Religious Affairs office. Data collection techniques were carried out using interviews, documentation, literature documents. The research results stated that the Circular Letter of the Director General of Islamic Guidance Number P-005/DJ.III/HK.00.7/10/2021 concerning Husband's Marriage during the Wife's Iddah Period prohibits husbands from marrying. The aim of this circular is to create gender justice and benefit between couples in iddah arrangements.

Evaluating the impact of using storytelling and visual multimedia music intervention to improve knowledge of the Child Rights Act and reduce the propensity to engage in child marriage

Child marriage has continued to rear its ugly head in Nigerian society. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of storytelling and multimedia music interventions in improving knowledge of the Child Rights Act and reducing the propensity to engage in child marriage. The researchers applied a quasi-experimental design and collected data using a structured questionnaire. The children were assigned into three groups (control, storytelling and multimedia music) of 173 participants. It was found that the interventions were effective. In particular, while storytelling contributed more to reducing the propensity to engage in child marriage, multimedia music contributed more to improving knowledge of the Child Rights Act. These results suggest that storytelling and multimedia music interventions can be effective approaches for addressing the lingering problem of child marriage in Nigeria.

Factors that Cause the Occurrence of Siri Marriage in Tualang District

Purpose – In the procedural rules of marriage within the Indonesian Islamic society, it is stipulated that marriages must be officially recorded and published in accordance with Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974. In reality, not all segments of the Indonesian population adhere to the established procedures or rules. This is evidenced by the fact that a portion of the population in the Tualang District of Siak Regency still engages in unregistered marriages that are not officially documented or published, which deviates from the provisions of Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Compilation of Islamic Law. This study aimed to identify the factors underlying the occurrence of unregistered marriages in the Tualang District.
 Methods – To achieve this objective, the researcher employed qualitative research methodology. Data collection was carried out using observation, interview, and documentation methods. The data validity testing technique used was triangulation of sources and methods. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive analysis model consisting of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
 Findings – The research findings indicate that the practice of unregistered marriages in the Tualang District is similar to regular marriages, with the key distinction being the lack of official documentation. The factors contributing to unregistered marriages in the Tualang District include: out-of-wedlock pregnancies, economic factors, and the desire for polygamy.
 Research implications/limitations – The impacts of unregistered marriages on the community include ease of conducting marriages, difficulties in obtaining birth certificates for children, a higher likelihood of divorce, document forgery, and conflicts.
 Originality/value – The results of this research are expected to be a practical reference for the community and government to overcome the problem of nikah siri. The factors that cause nikah siri described in this research can be an illustration for the government to be able to formulate policies related to the problem of siri marriage.
