Abstract

Child-marriage is easily found in most area in Indonesia and is second highest in ASEAN countries after Cambodia. Complexity of child-marriage roots in cultural tradition triggered by religious interpretation. However such facts being worsen as affected by regulations that legalized child-marriage. The soaring of child-marriage provides picture of the weakness of women and young girls in the family and society within dominance patriarchy ideology. Considering such ideology, gender inequality causes women and young girls having minimum access and bargaining position in the decision-making process. When this happens the rights of young girls are difficult to fulfill as can be seen in the fact of high-reaching child-marriage. In Kabupaten Sumenep, East Java, for example, under-age marriage reached 42,5% in 2015. Such complexity needs simultaneous and comprehensive efforts from national level to the desa (village) level which involving related stakesholder in the society. In this paper, I will develop opportunities and strategic measures in counteract child-marriage through the integratization of regulation such as Undangundang no. 6/2014 on the Desa as an entrance to build gender equality, women empowerment and child-protection to campaign against child-marriage.

Abstract

This paper elaborates strategy to stop child marriage in NTB (Nusa Tenggara Barat) via local culture that internalized in formal education. Child marriage has ruined the future of children. This practice is not just as well as ignoring the rights of children under the disguise of religion and adat. Child marriage in NTB via merariq tradition has violated child’s rights as well as making girls vulnerable under Sasak Adat Law. However if being investigated further this tradition is giving full autonomy to girls in taking decision in marriage. In modern era, this rights and autonomy are not being exercised and even erased from girls’s rights. this creates more vulnerability to girls. The reformed merariq adat law need to be reformed and inserted into formal education so that girls are empowered and able to fight against child marriage.

Abstract

The Madurese never refuse a proposal of a man who first comes. Therefore, Madurese girls would marry at a much younger age in their teenage years even before they reach 12 years old. Child marriages leads to the following severe problems: domestic violence, infidelity, divorce, problems of pregnancy and birth. In this context, there is injustice toward girls in the process of marriage and when the marriage happens. Psychologically, the girls are not ready enough to face domestic taks as a wife and mother. Besides that, girls also face a life-threatening situation during pregnancy and childbirth because of the unprepared reproductive organs. Therefore, a judicial review to the Constitutional Court regarding the minimum age of marriage for women from the age of 16 in article 7 of Law No. 1 of 1974 to the age of 18 years is a solution to eliminate the increasing child marriage and reduce the rate of maternal death and child-mortality rate.

Abstract

Our girls today faced with a condition that is very susceptible to the risk of child marriage age. The expectation that the child marriage be stopped immediately hit by a thick wall of patriarchal culture intertwined with the social structure, economic and political. Conditions of poverty, difficult geographical location, access to education are minimals, and the lack of willingness of policy makers have worsened the child’s age. But amid all the complexity of the state of marriage age of the child, there is a good practice the elimination of child marriage as in Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Marriage age is quite high in some areas, such as in sub district in Gedangsari Gunung Kidul has made policy makers together with the residents making network-based integration MoU (the collective agreement) at the district level for the elimination of child marriages. This agreement contains cooperation of various institutions, both on the level of schools, villages, health centers, law enforcement officers, to institute the service of women in the sub-district level to end the marriage age of the child. Attempts to move along this done because all people agreed that the root causes of child marriage is not a single, then the handle should give space to all parties to move together.

Abstract

What makes child marriage an option for girls and their relatives in this present time? How and why does it happen in an average village in Sukabumi, West Java? Kabupaten Sukabumi is one of the districts in West Java that has a high number of child marriages, especially in the villages in the periphery. The selected research village is not a child marriage hot-spot compared to provincial standards. With an incidence2 of 32 % for marriage under 18 of ever married women between 20-24 it is slightly higher than the provincial average of 30.7%3 . Compared to the Indonesian average of 17% for marriage under 18 it is much higher4 . The choice to do research in one village enables us to look in detail at different aspects of child marriage and intersectionality in the same setting. The research is based on 28 qualitative in-depth case-studies, combined with a census of all households with 20-24-year-old male and female members and supporting interviews and observations. Fieldwork is about to be finalised, other parts of the research are still ongoing. Sketches of six cases – five girls and one boy – show the diversity and complexity of child marriage. The article discusses the potential agency of young people vis-a-vis their parents/elders, from self-realised marriage to forced marriage. It confirms the role of common causes like the lack of control of girls’s sexuality and the fear of zina, and poor access to education and health when it comes to pregnancies, but questions the role of poverty as a direct reason of child marriage. Every case seems to be a particular combination of causes based on morality and religion, the composition of households, parental care and upbringing, the access girls have to formal and religious education, including sexual education, and to the local labour market. Gender and age are crosscutting hierarchies with girls at the most powerless side of the equation.

Abstract

Indonesia is among the ten countries in the world with the highest absolute number of child brides. Indonesia is the second highest in ASEAN after Cambodia. An estimated one of five girls in Indonesia is married before they reached 18. In Indonesia girls which are prone to child marriage are: 1. Girls from rural areas as twice as likely to marry as children as those from urban areas. 2. Child brides are most likely from poor families. 3. Married girls are generally less educated, either lack of opportunity or curtailment of their schooling by early marriage. West Java and West Kalimantan are the two key provinces of origin for trafficking in Indonesia while Riau Islands and Jakarta are main destinations and transit zones. Children are trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation, as domestic workers, child brides, and child labourers, often sent to work in hazardous environments such as on plantations and fishing platforms, while babies are trafficked for illegal adoption and organs. Another concern includes the children of illegal migrants; one study has found that when illegal migrants bring children with them, their children are at risk of abandonment, neglect, and abuse as well as trafficking. During this time, counties and cities in West Java became the biggest of supplier women migrant workers as well as girl-brides for child marriage. They came from several areas, such as Indramayu, Cirebon, Bandung, Sukabumi, and Cianjur. This research focuses at Kabupaten Sukabumi, regency in West Java where MMR and child marriage are at its highest rate presently. Method of collecting data is interviews with girls’ brides and parents as well as FGD with stakeholders at Desa Cikidang. Childmarriage at Desa Cikidang confirmed previous premises that these following causes play major roles: 1) poverty and poor access to education 2) the rise of fundamentalism leading to tabooism of sexuality and fear of zina, and finally 3) poor access to SRHR (sexual and reproductive health and rights).
