Abstract

This study examines child marriage in Indonesia from the perspective of Islamic law and national marriage law. The research aims to analyze the normative foundations of child marriage in Islamic jurisprudence and Indonesian positive law, as well as to assess their implementation in judicial decisions concerning marriage dispensation. This research employs a normative legal approach, relying on statutory regulations, classical and contemporary Islamic legal sources, and relevant court practices. The findings indicate that although Islamic law does not stipulate a specific minimum age for marriage, it emphasizes maturity and readiness, which align with the objectives of Islamic law to protect life, intellect, and lineage. In contrast, Indonesian national law, particularly after the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2019, establishes a strict minimum marriage age as part of child protection efforts. However, the practice of granting marriage dispensations by Religious Courts reveals a legal tension between normative regulations and social realities. This study argues that the persistence of child marriage reflects structural, cultural, and socio-economic factors that challenge both Islamic legal ideals and national legal frameworks. The research contributes to contemporary legal discourse by highlighting the need for a more integrative approach that strengthens child protection while remaining sensitive to Islamic legal principles and judicial practice in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines customary marriage in Mandailing Natal as a form of living law that shapes kinship relations, social legitimation, and dispute resolution. Using a normative–empirical socio-legal design, the research triangulates doctrinal analysis of Islamic family-law sources, notably ‘urf and maqasid al-shari’ah, with field evidence on Dalihan Na Tolu procedures, ceremonial practice, consent dynamics, and local adjudication. The results show that many customary mechanisms, such as collective deliberation and the customary dowry (mahar), substantively align with core objectives of Islamic family law and may be classified as ‘urf sahih, insofar as they advance lineage protection, dignity, and contractual certainty. Nevertheless, evolving social pressures produce misalignments, particularly around free and informed consent, equitable allocation of marital entitlements, and the legal visibility of customary marriages in Mandailing Natal. To address these tensions the study recommends inclusive, maqasid al-shari’ah-informed interventions: clearer documentation of consent and mahar, stronger links between customary authorities and civil registration, and targeted legal literacy for women and customary leaders. Scientifically, this study contributes an integrated ‘urf and maqasid al-shari’ah evaluative framework grounded in empirical data, offering both theoretical refinement and actionable policy guidance for reconciling living custom with the protective aims of Islamic family law.
