Causes of the Non-fulfilment of Article 1 of the Marriage Law in Underage Marriage

Ferawati Lasimpala

Abstract

Article 1 of Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage defines marriage as a physical and spiritual bond intended to form a happy and lasting family, yet underage marriages in Batudaa District frequently end in divorce. This article identifies the factors that cause the purpose set out in Article 1 not to be attained in underage marriages. The study uses normative-empirical legal research with statutory and case approaches; secondary legal materials are combined with field data obtained from parties to underage marriages, and the materials are analysed deductively. The study finds that the purpose of marriage under Article 1 has not been realised in Batudaa District because of three recurring factors: poor communication between spouses, the failure of husband and wife to discharge their respective rights and obligations, and interference by parents or parents-in-law. These factors are aggravated by the emotional immaturity of spouses who married below the minimum age set by Law Number 16 of 2019, which indicates that the raising of the marriageable age must be accompanied by pre-marital guidance if the objective of Article 1 is to be met.
