Abstract

Introduction: Child marriage is a phenomenon that continues and develops, the low knowledge and understanding of the community towards the perception of marriage. Child marriage should not be allowed anywhere in the world as it is a practice that violates general human rights and discriminates against women. Purposes of the Research:  In this research, the author will compare the prevention of child marriage in Indonesia, Malaysia, and India.Methods of Research: This research uses a normative juridical approach method. Researchers will study and examine the factors that cause child marriage and its legal protection to prevent child protection in Indonesia, Malaysia, and India. This research uses descriptive analytical research specifications by determining the laws and regulations relating to legal theories that are the object of research.Results of the Research: Indonesia increased the minimum marriage age for both sexes from 18 to 19 with the enactment of Law No. 16 of 2019. Malaysia, meanwhile, sets a maximum marriage age of eighteen. Initiatives to reduce the legal age of marriage, especially for women, have been made in both nations for socio-political and socio-cultural reasons. Alongside these initiatives, India has also ratified several conventions designed to end child marriage. These include the 1976 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the 1976 International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), as well as the 1956 Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, the Slave Trade, and Institutions and Practices Similar to Slavery.

Abstract

The matrilineal kinship system draws a female line. The problem of inheritance law becomes more complex if it occurs within the Minangkabau Indigenous Community. This is motivated by the fact that the Minangkabau Indigenous People are devout followers of Islam; they also have strong customary laws with matrilineal lineage and collective inheritance systems. The author uses a juridical-normative research method, while the research specification is descriptive and analytical. The data obtained was analyzed using qualitative juridical methods. In several inheritance disputes, judges of the Religious Courts in West Sumatra have applied the principle of “Adat Basandi Syarak, Syarak Basandi Kitabullah.” In implementing the inheritance system, Minangkabau customary law aligns with Islamic law without eliminating the values of the adat. The existing customary law must be subordinate to Sharia, that is, Islamic law derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah as the Kitabullah. Every customary rule must not deviate from Islamic Sharia, including inheritance law. In addition to following customary provisions, inheritance must also be in accordance with Islamic inheritance law, in this case, Faraidh.
