Child marriage in Indonesia is a serious issue, causing negative impacts such as maternal and infant mortality, school dropout, and limited economic opportunities. Child marriage may be forbidden if it causes harm, in line with Maqashid Syariah. This study analyzes changes in fatwas on marriage age, causes of child marriage, and fatwa effectiveness. Using a qualitative method through literature review, it finds that the change is reflected in Law No. 16 of 2019. However, implementation faces obstacles like patriarchal culture, low education, and economic pressure, requiring collaboration culture, poor educational attainment, and economic constraints.
