This study is qualitative and field research with a legal and sociological approach. Data sources from parents, stakeholders, and children. Data analysis includes data reduction, data display, and conclusions. The results of this study are: first, the factors of child marriage in Kajoran District are caused by the culture and mindset of the community that is permissive towards child marriage, low awareness of education, pregnancy outside of marriage, or intimate relationships outside of marriage. Second, the role of stakeholders in overcoming child marriage has been carried out according to regulations and their respective responsibilities but has not been optimal and synergistic. Third, the constraints of stakeholders in overcoming child marriage are 1) limited funds and human resources in overcoming child marriage, 2) there are community role models who are permissive towards child marriage, and 3) there is no collaboration between stakeholders in preventing underage child marriage.
