Abstract

Child marriage remains a legal and social issue in Indonesia despite the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2019, which sets the minimum marriage age at 19 years. This study aims to analyze the regulation of underage marriage requirements and the judges’ considerations in granting marriage dispensation in the Decision of the Depok Religious Court Number 0094/Pdt.P/2020/PA.Dpk. The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing secondary data consisting of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials analyzed systematically. The results indicate that although positive law has established a minimum marriage age, the existence of a dispensation mechanism creates loopholes that contribute to the persistence of child marriage practices. In the examined case, the judge granted the dispensation by considering juridical, social, and benefit aspects to prevent greater harm. Therefore, the judicial decision reflects not only legal certainty but also justice and utility for the parties involved.
