Abstract

This study examines the complex interplay of legal, religious, and social factors influencing the rejection of marriage dispensation requests in Pangkalan Bun's Religious Court. Through in-depth interviews and document analysis, the study explores the court's decision-making process, the prevailing societal norms, and the broader societal implications of these rejections. Findings reveal that the court's decisions are shaped by a combination of legal precedents, religious interpretations, and social pressures. Individuals denied dispensations often face stigma, economic hardship, and mental health challenges. At the community level, these rejections can lead to increased social conflict, weakened social cohesion, and changes in family structures. The study highlights the urgent need for comprehensive measures to address the multifaceted consequences of rejecting marriage dispensations, including strengthening education, improving access to support services, and promoting gender equality.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of the Ready to Marry Certificate policy on reducing early marriage rates in West Kotawaringin. Using a quantitative method with a case study approach, this research involved prospective couples and Religious Affairs Office (KUA) officials. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation to obtain a comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of this policy. The results showed a significant decrease in the number of marriage dispensation applications after the implementation of the policy. In addition, the policy played a role in raising public awareness of the importance of delaying marriage to a more mature age. However, policy implementation still faces a number of challenges, including a lack of coordination between relevant institutions and community resistance in some areas. This study concludes that the Surat Keterangan Siap Nikah policy has great potential to reduce the number of early marriages, but needs further improvement and adjustment to overcome the existing obstacles. The findings are expected to serve as a foundation for the development of more effective policies in the future.
