The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze how efforts can be made to increase the understanding and awareness of the people of Sidetapa village regarding the urgency of the negative impacts arising from child marriage. This research method uses a ball pick-up system and the model for implementing this activity will be carried out directly (face to face) based on “RRA and PRA” (rapid rural appraisal and participant rapid appraisal). The results of this study indicate that: 1) Child marriage still occurs frequently in Sidetapa village because it is closely related to past history in Sidetapa village. 2) There are still many people in Sidetapa village who enter into child marriages due to economic factors. 3) The large number of residents who practice child marriage indicates a lack of understanding and information that the people of Sidetapa village have about the negative impacts that can arise as a result of child marriage. Thus, through the dissemination of Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage in the Prevention of Child Marriage in Sidetapa Village, it is hoped that it will be able to assist the community and village officials in increasing their insight and knowledge as well as their understanding of the impact of child marriage on reducing child marriage rates.
