<![CDATA[AbstrakPendidikan karakter adalah suatu sistem penataan nilai-nilai karakter kepada warga meliputi komponen pengetahuan, kesadaran atau kemauan dan tindakan untuk melaksanakan nilai-nilai tersebut yang akan berguna bagi sesama manusia. Permasalahan di Desa Paluh Manan bagi suku Banjar adalah kawin anom (muda), hal ini disebabkan kurangnya sosialisasi tentang dampak negative kawin anom. Kesadaran suku Banjar tentang bahaya kawin anom belum menunjukan hasil yang signifikan. Menikah di usia muda khususnya usia 14-17 rentan terhadap kesehatan reproduksi dan menyebabkan terjadinya masalah social budaya. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dengan: Survei Kelompok Sasaran, Persiapan Saranadan Prasarana, Pelaksanaan Kegiatan Aksi dan Evaluasi. Upaya yang dilakukan menjalin kerja sama dengan masyarakat Desa Paluh Manan, Kabupaten Deli Serdang dan Genre Badan Kependudukan danKeluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN).

More specifically, the tribe of Banjar who has lived in Desa Paluh Manan Kabupaten Deli Serdang has had an issue with the young marriage (popular as kawin anom in local term). This issue has a serious implication, especially for the youth since there has been less socialization conducted in the Desa Paluh Manan about the negative outcomes of married young. Married at a young age, especially in age of 14-17 is vulnerable to the health reproduction that further leads to many socio-cultural problems.
