At that time, the applicable marriage law was based on each individual's religious law. Later, during the Dutch occupation, ethnicity-based classifications were implemented, with each group having its own specific rules. During the Old Order, Law No. 22 of 1946 concerning Marriage Registration, Divorce, and Reconciliation (hereinafter referred to as NTR) was enacted. During the New Order, Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage was enacted, followed by its first revision during the reform era, Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage. Second, the political will of the state government is a determining factor in the direction of the law, including the determination of minimum marriage age limits.]]>
