Perubahan UU No.16/2019 Tentang Batasan Minimum Pernikahan

In general, there are many marriages in Indonesia with various kinds and ages. Many underage marriages also occur in Indonesia because there are still many people who do not understand the importance of the age of adulthood to enter into marriages, causing many impacts from underage marriages. The impact is that there are many divorces, death for the mother and child due to the age for the mother who is too young and does not have the physical and mental strength so that it can interfere with the child in her womb. Marriage which takes place among minors is one of the phenomena that is very common in social life which is very widespread everywhere, both in urban and rural areas.
