<![CDATA[Law No. 16 of 2019 stipulates that the minimum marriage age for both males and females is 19 years. If this requirement is not met, a marriage dispensation must be obtained from the Religious Court. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Law No. 16 of 2019 regarding marriage dispensation. Using a qualitative method with a normative-empirical approach, the findings reveal a significant decrease of approximately 79.9% in marriage dispensation applications at the Malang Religious Court from 2020 to 2024. This decline reflects effective law enforcement supported by government outreach programs and stricter judicial discretion in approving dispensation requests. From an Islamic perspective, marriage dispensation is permissible, aligning with the jurisprudential principle that preventing harm (darar) takes precedence over pursuing benefit (maslahah).Law No. 16 of 2019 stipulates that the minimum marriage age for both males and females is 19 years.
