Abstract

This article examines the practice of child marriage in Indonesia from a gender equality perspective by exploring the causal factors, socio-cultural constructions, and implications for women's health, education, and position within the social structure. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and UNICEF show that the prevalence of child marriage remains high and its decline is very slow, indicating strong cultural roots, economic inequality, and unequal access to education. An international literature review confirms that low education, family economic pressure, and established social norms are the main determinants of this practice. From a health perspective, early pregnancy increases the risk of serious complications for both mother and baby and contributes to an intergenerational cycle of poverty. Gender analysis shows that child marriage reinforces unequal power relations between men and women, while limiting the space for identity development, social participation, and life opportunities for girls. From an Islamic perspective, the principles of gender equality and justice are guaranteed through the values of maqasid al-shari'ah, but their implementation is often hampered by biased social interpretations. This article emphasizes that the issue of child marriage cannot be separated from the structure of gender inequality and requires holistic interventions based on law, social, cultural, and theology to encourage sustainable change.

Abstract

The global environmental crisis and ecological degradation at the local level have become serious challenges to the sustainability of human life. In the Pangalengan area of Bandung Regency, pressure on the ecosystem occurs due to deforestation, agricultural land conversion, and declining water quality. In this context, a new approach is needed that combines local values and spiritual dimensions to strengthen environmental resilience. This article aims to explore the role of religion, particularly Islamic values, in fostering ecological awareness and collective community action through a community service model based on a transformative approach and Asset-Based Community Development(ABCD). This study uses a participatory qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and community reflection. The results of the study indicate that the insertion of religious values—such as the concept of caliph, amar ma’ruf nahi denkar, and prohibition of waste—successfully triggered a transformation in public awareness of environmental issues. Thematic religious studies, mosque greening programs, and youth involvement as environmental cadres have spurred concrete and measurable action. Collaboration between religious leaders, village governments, and religious educational institutions has also resulted in a partnership model based on environmental spirituality. These findings demonstrate that religious values can serve as both an ethical foundation and a practical strategy in community-based environmental policies. The implications of this research underscore the need to integrate spiritual values, public policy, and ecological action to build sustainable environmental resilience at the local level.
