Discourse of Violence and Rights Violation in Child Marriage

Abstract

The age limit in forming a marriage is very important. This is because the age of the couple in marriage is too young which can lead to increased domestic conflicts, including cases of domestic violence (KDRT) and even divorce cases. In addition, a child who marries at a young age has the potential to give rise to rights that he should have received but are no longer able to obtain as a result of the child marriage. The research method used is an empirical juridical research method, where this is done by field research and library materials. From the results of this study, there are factors that cause child marriage, namely in the form of family economic factors (poverty), arranged marriages by parents, environmental factors of friends who have married many, cultural factors and people's views on the age of marriage, factors not going to school anymore, and because they had sexual intercourse when they were dating. Some of the rights that are vulnerable to being violated in child marriages include the right to education, the right to a source of livelihood, the right to growth and development, and the right to be free from violence. The forms of violence that arise from child marriage are physical violence as well as psychological violence either committed by partners or by people who have family relations, for example because of blood relations, marriage and guardianship who reside in the household.
