Abstract

A marriage is a tie that unites two people into a home. The fundamental tenet of a marriage is the consent of the two people getting married to join their values and future household management obligations. Children are gifts from God, given to both parents to raise and educate in accordance with the laws that are in force. Children's rights to life, a decent life, and an education are safeguarded by the state in Indonesia through laws and regulations. Over its history, forced weddings have resulted in a great number of occurrences of child marriages underage. Everyone is focusing on finding a solution to the issue of forced marriage at a young age, including the government and society. The realization of children's fundamental rights is threatened by the high rate of child marriages. A legal sociological methodology is used with a normative research method to conduct the study. There are a number of reasons why young people are coerced into marriage, including cultural norms, parental wishes, ignorance of Indonesian legal system, instances of immoral behavior, and financial constraints. The survival of the child may be impacted by any of the variables that lead to early forced marriage.
