In Petarukan District, Pemalang Regency, divorce conflicts are not only caused by early marriage, but also by unequal education levels between spouses, economic reasons, lack of family support, and differences of opinion. In practice, couples who intend to divorce at the KUA of Petarukan District usually first come to AMK for consultation. Often, the issue is that they are not mentally prepared for marriage, especially among young couples who seek consultation at KUM.
