Abstract

This study examines the efforts of young prospective couples in applying for a marriage dispensation at the Samarinda Religious Court in 2025. The increasing number of applications for marriage dispensation reflects social and legal dynamics among underage couples in Indonesia. Using a normative-empirical legal approach with qualitative methods, this study identifies the procedures, requirements, and obstacles encountered by applicants, as well as the court’s considerations in granting or refusing such petitions. The theory of legal protection and the best interest of the child serve as the analytical framework. The findings reveal that most applicants are motivated by pregnancy outside of marriage, social pressure, and economic factors. The court applies Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 5 Tahun 2019 as a guideline, emphasizing the psychological and physical readiness of the parties involved. The study concludes that efforts by young couples to obtain marriage dispensation remain procedurally complex, requiring legal awareness, family support, and clear documentation. Stricter examination by the court is a positive step in protecting children from the adverse effects of early marriage.
