Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate the compatibility of the belas mechanism, which separates prospective brides still considered children (merariq kodeq), in West Lombok Regency with the provisions of Child Protection Law No. 35/2014. While prior research in various countries has primarily focused on interventions and child marriage prevention programs, this study takes a different approach by examining the intricate relationship between children (those under 18 years of age) and the broader social system. To comprehensively explore this relationship, our team adopts Bronfenbrenner's socio-ecological model, which encompasses various stages of a child's life. This model considers individual biology, interactions with diverse actors, environmental factors, and cultural and structural influences. Our study's findings reveal that the current implementation of the belas mechanism does not adequately align with the principles of child protection. This inadequacy is particularly evident in terms of the psychological well-being and vulnerability of girls who become victims of child marriage, especially in unique situations involving girls who experience unwanted pregnancies. To conduct our research, we employed qualitative methodologies, including participant observation and in-depth interviews. These methods allowed us to engage with primary subjects, five girls aged 14–18 years, as well as key stakeholders such as representatives from children's forums, village child protection commissions, religious leaders, parents, teachers, and others.

Abstract

This article examines how information about childhood care available on social media affects the construction of ideal Indonesian mothers. Specifically, I pay closer attention to how women's roles and experiences in stunting prevention campaigns are portrayed and enacted online in the context of the digital socialization of these programs. Based on online ethnographic research from 2021-2023, which examined social media accounts of healthcare professionals and mothers, this article explores the construction of “ideal” motherhood within the digital realm of stunting programs. As health care professionals’ social media accounts carried messages and embodied the authoritative power of medical knowledge, they helped foster a digital health community with an explicit interest in childhood care. The results of this study suggest that the images of subordinate mothers and wives are no longer the only representation of ideal Indonesian mothers. Having been normalized as the primary caregiver, mothers are increasingly taught to think about childcare in a similar way to how the Indonesian state views children as valuable future economic assets in stunting programs. Whereas selflessness and self-sacrifice remain important qualities of the so-called good mother, being knowledgeable and practicing future-oriented parenting are additional important properties that a mother should have to fight against a child's growth being stunted.
