The high divorce rate of young couples in Medan City indicates a crisis in family resilience, especially in early marriage. This study aims to determine the divorce rate of young couples, identify the causal factors, and analyze strategies to reduce the divorce rate. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study at the Class I-A Religious Court of Medan. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation of the court and community leaders. The results of the study indicate that economic factors, prolonged conflict, domestic violence (KDRT), and forced marriage are the dominant causes of the high divorce rate. Suggested solutions include increasing premarital education, religious counseling, and strengthening the role of the family in fostering household resilience.
