Distortion Of Marriage Age In Asian Muslim Countries

Description:

The polemic surrounding the marriage of minors is now one of the crucial issues. The minimum limit for someone to marry is suspected to be one of the triggers of polemic. When viewed from some minimum age of marriage in the world, it is not always in accordance with the reality of the community, meaning that many marriages are under marriage as agreed in each country. This is the cause and influence of marriage age distortions in some countries that permit underage marriages. Whereas in 2014, the Secretary-General of the United Nations recommended specific targets in the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals to abolish elderly marriage. This recommendation is supported by 116 member states of the United Nations, including several Muslim countries. Therefore, a global consensus on the need to eliminate child marriages has become increasingly prominent in recent years. Motivation in the study that will be studied is the lack of laws of Muslim countries in enforcing the limits of marriage age so that the number of cases of underage married children. The purpose of this study is to compare some of the regulations in Muslim countries against the abolition of marriage age limits that reflect the lack of protection for women from a sense of justice, in order to change the situation (women) in a better direction. Data collection methods are carried out with library research. Then certain analyzes in legislation are done by looking for concepts, the main terminology in the text. The main finding in this study is that there are many deviations in the age of marriage, even though there are state laws that regulate the age limit of marriage.
