<![CDATA[This research examines the phenomenon of early marriage from the perspectives of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia. The methodology employed includes an empirical approach involving direct observation, in-depth interviews, and a literature review. Interviews were conducted using Google Forms, with participants aged 18–21 years serving as the subjects. The results reveal diverse public views on early marriage: some consider it a tradition that should be respected, while others view it as a violation of human rights. Economic, cultural, and educational factors were identified as the primary drivers of the high rate of early marriage in Jember Regency. A legal analysis indicates that, while Islamic law permits early marriage based on the attainment of puberty, Indonesian positive law stipulates a minimum age for marriage. The study concludes that misunderstandings about Islamic law and a lack of education are significant contributors to early marriage in Indonesia. The author recommends increasing public education and enforcing stricter legal regulations to reduce the prevalence of early marriages.]]>
