<![CDATA[Law No. 1 of 1974 establishes a minimum age of 19 years for marriage with court permission, while Islamic law emphasizes physical and mental maturity without a specific age limit. This study compares the two legal systems in handling underage marriages with a focus on child rights protection and norm alignment. This research aims to understand the main issues related to underage marriage through a comparative analysis between civil law and Islamic law. Additionally, this study examines the policies and roles of marriage registration institutions in protecting the rights and interests of children. This research uses qualitative methods with literature study techniques to analyze the differences between civil law and Islamic law regarding underage marriage.
