Abstract

This research focuses on the role of the Office of Religious Affairs/Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) in reducing early marriage rates and the variables influencing such events in the Lolak Subdistrict, Bolaang Mongondow Regency, North Sulawesi. A qualitative descriptive method with a phenomenological approach is employed to understand participants' experiences regarding early marriage comprehensively. The research results indicate that the KUA plays a crucial role in lowering the incidence of early marriages in the Lolak Subdistrict. They refuse to approve marriages that violate the age limits set by Law Number 16 of 2019. In addition to withholding approval, the KUA also conducts educational programs to provide the community an understanding of these regulations. Islamic guidance is delivered directly in classroom settings to prevent early marriages. This research seeks to uncover the role of the KUA in addressing early marriages and the influencing variables in the Lolak Subdistrict. With an emphasis on education and the refusal to approve early marriages, the KUA is a crucial agent in combating early marriages in the region. Keywords: Office of Religious Affairs; Marriage, Early Age. ABSTRAKPenelitian ini berfokus pada peran Kantor Urusan Agama (KUA) dalam mengurangi angka pernikahan dini serta variabel yang mempengaruhi peristiwa tersebut di Kecamatan Lolak, Kabupaten Bolaang Mongondow, Sulawesi Utara.
