This research aims to analyze the government's role in overcoming underage marriage in the Muslim communities in Manado City, North Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The government's involvement is significant because of the yearly increase of child marriage cases in the city. Therefore, this qualitative research employed a descriptive approach to analyze the data, which were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The primary data sources were the heads of the Religious Affairs Offices in Manado City, consisting of the Tuminting, Tikala, Wenang, and Singkil Subdistricts, while journal articles, government regulations, literature, and other relevant documents constituted the secondary data. Subsequently, the results showed that the government's duties and functions concerning marriage in the city are implemented through the Religious Affairs Office and include providing services, monitoring, recording, reporting, and guidance. Its role in combating underage marriage in the city's Muslim community is performed through formal activities, namely the socialization of Act No. 16/2019 concerning the age of marriage, pre-marital guidance and education for school-age children and millennial youth, as well as marriage preparation guidance. Also, non-formal activities are performed through lectures, coaching, and rendering marriage advice at the majlis ta'lim and youth events in mosques.

This paper analyzes strategic policies for preventing child marriage in Rembang Regency. This evaluative research uses interviews, questionnaires and literature studies for data collection. The study results show that the gender-integrated policy of child marriage prevention in the Rembang district can be seen in regulations, budgets, strengthening of child groups, institutions and cooperation. Sufficient budget and human resources, including the openness of information systems, are the strengths of the policy on child marriage prevention in this area. Programs are still partial; weakness in monitoring- evaluation; weakness in gender mainstreaming commitment; gender biased organizational culture; budget politics that often change; and the fewer activity children's forum are weaknesses in this policy. There are national and international policies; orderly population administration; gender and child disaggregated data; Information Technology; collaboration with NGOs and the private sector an opportunity that must be considered for the success of this policy. Another hand, attention must be on policy threats, namely: low education; high poverty; patriarchy; child marriage traditions; ngemblok tradition; information technology; changes in the age limit for marriage; minimal community involvement; gender insight uneven and; understanding of child rights is low. Child marriage prevention policies have an impact on target groups, non-target groups, and direct and indirect costs. Optimization of child marriage prevention policies should be carried out using scheme 1, maximizing strengths to minimize threats; scheme 2, optimizing gender equality in regional apparatus organizations and; scheme 3, monitoring-evaluation is carried out periodically and structured. These schemes must pay attention to the five "appropriate" namely the appropriate choice of policies and programs, implementation, targets, environment and process appropriate.

“…Rata-rata lama sekolah baik untuk perempuan maupun laki-laki usia 20-24 tahun yang melangsungkan perkawinan setelah usia 18 tahun lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan mereka yang melangsungkan perkawinan sebelum usia 18 tahun. Pada kelompok perempuan usia 20-24 tahun, selisih rata-rata lama sekolah antara yang melangsungkan perkawinan pada usia anak dan usia 18 tahun ke atas hampir mencapai dua tahun (BPS et al, 2020, p. 16), sebaliknya, proporsi terbanyak adalah menamatkan pendidikan sampai SMP/sederajat, yakni sebesar 41,18 persen (Judiasih et al, 2020).…”

The Revision of the Marriage Law has improved the marriage age limit for women from initially 16 years old became 19 years old. But in fact, the limit change has not been able to reduce the number of child marriages in Indonesia. Since the Law number 16 of 2019 has been ratified for two years, child marriage has actually increased. Various conflicting factors have become the roots of child marriage, one of which is regulatory loopholes through the article of marriage dispensation. This study reviews the phenomenon of child marriage, focused primarily on how the marriage dispensation policy works. This problem is analyzed using the theory of power and sexuality from Michel Foucault and a feminist perspective. Under the feminist research methodology paradigm, the study was conducted qualitatively through the literature review method. As a result, the practice of state power over sexuality (the episteme of political power) appears to be strongly influenced by the first-tier episteme (religion). At the community level, various reasons for proposing a marriage dispensation, such as poverty, low education, and traditions are legitimized by the influence of religious interpretations which allow child marriage. Distracted by the condition of the community, the government, which should ideally be a barrier to child marriage, actually granted the majority of marriage dispensation applications. The strong first-tier episteme is also reflected by the consideration of judges who grant marriage dispensation. Therefore, the government has contributed to increasing the number of child marriages. As a solution, the House of Representatives through its oversight function can encourage the government to implement a gender perspective through a national strategy that has been proclaimed, as well as encourage the government to increase the number of female judges in the Religipus Courts.AbstrakRevisi UU Perkawinan telah menghasilkan kemajuan pada batas usia perkawinan bagi perempuan, dari awalnya 16 tahun menjadi 19 tahun. Namun faktanya, perubahan batas usia perkawinan belum mampu menekan angka perkawinan anak di Indonesia. Dalam kurun dua tahun sejak UU Nomor 16 Tahun 2019 disahkan, perkawinan anak justru mengalami peningkatan. Berbagai faktor saling sengkarut menjadi akar perkawinan anak, salah satunya adalah celah regulasi melalui pasal dispensasi kawin. Kajian ini mengulas fenomena perkawinan anak, berfokus terutama pada bagaimana kebijakan dispensasi perkawinan bekerja. Persoalan tersebut dianalisis menggunakan teori kekuasaan dan seksualitas dari Michel Foucault dan perspektif feminis. Di bawah paradigma metodologi penelitian feminis, kajian dilakukan secara kualitatif melalui metode literature review. Sebagai hasilnya, praktik kuasa negara terhadap seksualitas (episteme kekuasaan politik), tampak kuat dipengaruhi episteme lapis pertama (agama). Pada level masyarakat, berbagai sebab pengajuan dispensasi kawin seperti kemiskinan, rendahnya pendidikan, serta tradisi, dilegitimasi pengaruh tafsir agama yang membolehkan perkawinan anak. Gayut dengan kondisi masyarakat, pemerintah yang idealnya menjadi perintang perkawinan anak justru mengabulkan mayoritas pengajuan dispensasi kawin. Kuatnya episteme lapis pertama, juga tergambar pada pertimbangan hakim yang mengabulkan dispensasi kawin. Harus diakui bahwa pemerintah telah turut berkontribusi dalam peningkatan jumlah perkawinan anak. Sebagai solusi, DPR RI melalui fungsi pengawasan dapat mendorong pemerintah mengimplementasikan perspektif gender dalam strategi nasional yang telah dicanangkan, serta mendorong pemerintah memperbanyak jumlah hakim perempuan di Pengadilan Agama.
