Legally, child marriage is considered invalid because it violates the regulations regarding the minimum age limit for marriage for men and women, including in Cakung District, East Jakarta. This study discusses the factors that cause child marriage and the role of the government in preventing child marriage in Cakung District, East Jakarta. The method used in this study is an empirical normative legal approach. The results of the study indicate that the factors that influence child marriage in Cakung District include parental/family factors, economic factors, individual willingness, media influence, and marriage due to accidents.
