<![CDATA[This study examines the prevention of child marriage in the perspective of Islamic law and laws and regulations in Indonesia. Child marriage is still a serious problem that has an impact on educational, health, psychological, and child rights protection. Normatively, Islam places marriage as a sacred institution that aims to realize the benefit, peace, and sustainability of offspring. Meanwhile, Indonesia's positive law through changing the marriage age limit in Law Number 16 of 2019 is a progressive step in strengthening child protection. This study uses a juridical-normative approach with a conceptual analysis of the postulates of fiqh, maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, and national regulations related to child protection and marriage. The results of the study show that the prevention of child marriage is in line with the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī'ah, especially the protection of the soul (ḥifẓ al-nafs), reason (ḥifẓ al-'aql), heredity (ḥifẓ al-nasl), and property (ḥifẓ al-māl). Therefore, the synergy between Islamic law and laws and regulations is an important instrument in reducing the rate of child marriage in Indonesia.]]>
