This study attempts to address the issue of early marriage in relation to the court's ability to grant dispensation from marriage as a requirement for legalizing marriage for those who have not reached the legal marriageable age through a constitutional approach, legal sociology, and legal anthropology. The review revealed that the majority of the dispensation petitions submitted had been approved. The judge uses procedural and substantive factors based on laws and regulations to decide the marriage dispensation case, taking into account the facts of the case while also paying attention to the fiqh and the guiding principles of Islamic law, which are derived from the verses of the Koran and hadith. Although there is a perception that judges are quick to grant requests or are thought to play a role in South Kalimantan's legalization of early marriage.AbstrakFokus kajian ini adalah mengenai tingginya pernikahan dini di Kalimantan Selatan baik yang dilakukan dibawah tangan maupun yang dilakukan scara resmi dengan fasilitas dispensasi kawin dari pengadilan.
