<![CDATA[Marriage plays a vital role in a country’s demographic dynamics. However, Indonesia has seen a decline in marriage rates over the past decade. Changes in social and economic structures have contributed to the increasing phenomenon of delayed marriage, particularly among women. This trend has also influenced the Total Fertility Rate (TFR), especially in Java, where five out of six provinces reported a TFR below 2.1 in 2024. Delayed marriage among women is a critical issue due to its implications for reproductive health, as the reproductive age for women is limited to 15–49 years.
