Among them, the minimum age for marriage for prospective male and female brides is the same, 19 years. For those who do not meet the minimum age requirements, marriage can still take place after receiving a marriage dispensation from the court. Data shows that there are a lot of requests for marriage dispensation in Indonesia, in fact every year there is a significant increase. The Kediri City Religious Court only has 3 sub-districts, in 2022, 69 marriage dispensation cases will be accepted. The reason that is often given is that the relationship between the prospective bridegroom and the female is very close, parents/guardians are afraid and worried that they will increasingly fall into actions that are contrary to morals or religion, and quite a few of the prospective wives are already pregnant. In adjudicating cases regarding requests for marriage dispensation, the court often considers two disadvantages, which occur as a result of early marriage and if the marriage dispensation is rejected.
