Description
Summary:This study examines underage marriage in Kabupaten Paser, East Kalimantan, Indonesia, driven by socio-economic, educational, and cultural factors. Despite Marriage Law No. 16 of 2019, underage marriages persist due to low education, economic hardship, and cultural norms. Using a qualitative approach, including observations, interviews, and document analysis, this research identifies the negative impacts on health, education, and psychological well-being, perpetuating poverty and social instability. Jasser Auda’s Maqasid Syari’ah framework, emphasizing flexibility and holistic welfare, provides a comprehensive solution. The study recommends stricter enforcement of marriage age laws, educational initiatives to promote awareness, economic support to alleviate financial pressures, and community engagement to change cultural norms. Enhancing health and social services is crucial. Integrating Maqasid Syari’ah with contemporary legal and social frameworks offers a robust approach to addressing underage marriage and promoting a just and supportive society.
