The problem of child marriage is indeed one of the problems that has occurred for a long time, but until now it has not been able to be solved. One of the efforts made by the Government to suppress the high number of child marriages in Indonesia is by increasing the minimum age for marriage through Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage (Marriage Law). The provisions in Article 7 paragraph (1) of the Marriage Law change the minimum age for marriage which was previously 16 years for women and 19 years for men to 19 years for women and men. However, the provisions in Article 7 paragraph (2) open the opportunity for marriages under the specified age to be carried out, namely requesting a dispensation from the Court on the grounds that it is very urgent.
