<![CDATA[The issue of early marriage in Indonesia remains a serious challenge, despite progress in regulations regarding adolescent reproductive health. This study is motivated by the high number of marriage dispensations granted, which indicates a persistent gap between legal norms and social realities. The study aims to analyze the implementation of adolescent reproductive health regulations in preventing early marriage in Indonesia from a socio-legal perspective, in order to assess their effectiveness in curbing the practice of child marriage. A systematic literature review was conducted on 20 relevant articles, legal documents, and policy reports published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that while the revision of Marriage Law No. 16 of 2019 and various policies—such as the National Strategy for the Prevention of Child Marriage (STRANAS PPPA) and the GenRe program—have strengthened child protection, implementation still faces socio-cultural obstacles, weak cross-sectoral coordination, and resistance to sex education. Customary practices, religious interpretations, and marriage dispensation mechanisms serve as primary impediments to regulatory effectiveness. However, reproductive health education has proven effective in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes regarding the risks of early marriage. The study concludes that successfully preventing early marriage requires an integrative socio-legal approach combining law, education, and culture through multi-level collaboration among the government, educational institutions, religious leaders, and the community.]]>
