Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of the duties and functions of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) in providing services to the community and to what extent its implementation is in accordance with the regulations of the Minister of Religious Affairs (PMA). The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were the head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), employees of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA), and the community who received services at the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) of Kampar Kiri District. The results of the study indicate that the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) of Kampar Kiri District has carried out most of its duties and functions as mandated in the PMA, including in terms of marriage registration services, religious life guidance, and religious administration services. However, several obstacles were still found such as limited human resources, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and a lack of public understanding of service procedures. The conclusion of this study is that although the implementation of the duties and functions of the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) in Kampar Kiri District has generally been carried out in accordance with regulations, it is still necessary to improve the quality of service by strengthening employee capacity and providing outreach to the community.

Abstract

Early marriage remains a significant problem in Kandis Subdistrict and has an impact on education, reproductive health, and the socio-economic stability of families. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the role of the Kandis Subdistrict Religious Affairs Office (KUA) in combating the practice of early marriage and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach through in-depth interviews with religious leaders, religious counselors, community leaders, parents, and adolescents, accompanied by observation and review of administrative documents. The results of the study show that the KUA has three strategic roles in preventing early marriage: (1) a regulatory role through age verification and marriage dispensation recommendations; (2) an educational role through the Marriage Guidance (Bimwin) program, youth counseling, and dissemination of marriage laws; and (3) an advocacy role through collaboration with schools, traditional leaders, and the DP3A agency. However, the effectiveness of these roles is still hampered by local cultural factors that consider early marriage to be normal, the community's lack of legal literacy, and the KUA's limited human resources and budget. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen the capacity of counselors, improve institutional synergy, and strengthen continuous legal education to minimize the practice of early marriage in Kandis District
