Abstract

This article identified and analyzed the disparity of judges’ legal reasoning in granting a marriage dispensation application in respect to the minimum marriage age in Indonesia. This study indicated that amendment to the Marriage Law which increases the marriageable age of women did not necessarily reduce the number of child marriage. On the other hand, such change increased the number of marriage dispensation applications. The legal reasoning applied by judges in examining such applications varied. This research showed that a judge’s ability to interpret the law and the condition of the prospective bride and groom when the application was submitted played an important role in the decision making. The disparity between decisions can affect legal certainty for justice seekers and will be detrimental for law enforcement. To overcome those problems, Indonesia needs regulation which clearly stipulates under what condition the minimum age requirement can be set aside.
