Abstract

This study aims to analyze the social construction of early marriage in Dompak Urban Village, Bukit Bestari Sub-District, Tanjungpinang City, by examining how community perceptions, norms, and interactions shape attitudes toward early marriage practices. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research collected data through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving community members, religious figures, and local stakeholders. Data were analyzed using the social construction theory to explore how shared meanings and collective agreements regarding early marriage are formed and maintained within the community. The findings reveal that early marriage in Dompak Village is socially constructed through continuous social interaction, where customary norms, religious interpretations of Islamic law, and collective values play a dominant role. The community perceives early marriage as a legitimate and even beneficial practice, often viewed as a destined match that serves both individual and collective interests. This social construction persists despite existing national marriage regulations that set minimum age requirements, indicating a tension between state law and local cultural-religious norms. The study concludes that early marriage in Dompak Village is sustained by a socially constructed reality rooted in shared beliefs and religious legitimacy rather than legal compliance. Therefore, stronger governmental engagement is required through consistent legal socialization, stricter regulation of marriage dispensations, and educational interventions emphasizing the importance of continued education and family well-being to prevent the normalization of early marriage practices.

Abstract

The dynamics of social life within detention centers (RUTAN) often give rise to unique patterns of relationships, where interactions among inmates may generate various forms of social behavior, both positive and negative. In this context, it is essential to understand how social interaction processes within a closed environment can influence the social and emotional development of inmates. This study aims to explain how social interaction factors among juvenile inmates affect their socio-emotional development during their confinement at the Class I State Detention Center of Tanjungpinang. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, triangulation, and documentation, and analyzed using social interaction theory involving factors such as imitation, suggestion, and identification. The findings indicate that social interactions within the detention environment tend to be deviant in nature, where juvenile inmates who interact with adult inmates are likely to imitate, be influenced by, and identify with negative behaviors from their surroundings, which in turn contributes to violent behavior, the internalization of negative symbolic meanings, and a tendency toward recidivism. These findings highlight how patterns of social interaction shape the behavior and socio-emotional development of juvenile inmates within the detention setting.
