I. Introduction
The existence of Law Number 16 of 2019 on marriage in Indonesia is ideal morally due to the urgency of marriage for the community's social sustainability.Marriage is a joyful moment.It should be accompanied by a strong commitment to maintaining it.Numerous factors contribute to the high number of divorce cases in our society, one of which is that married couples marry while they are not of legal marriage age.
As stipulated in Law Number 16 of 2019, the age limit for marriage for men and women is 19 years old. 1 The presence of these norms does not compel individuals to follow them.There are still parents who marry their children while they are not of legal marriageable age.It has been proven that in 2022, as many as 59,000 cases of early marriage were granted by religious courts. 2 This demonstrates that early marriage is still widely practiced in Indonesia.
Tembarak is a district in the Temanggung regency of Central Java.From 2020 to 2022, there were more than 10 cases of early marriage in Tembarak District.The data was acquired from the KUA (religious court) in the Tembarak District.The bride and groom are still too young (underage) to marry; they are still students; and, to make matters worse, the bride is already pregnant.
One such case occurred in one of Tembarak District's Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs; equivalent to Islamic Junior High School) Just call the girl's name "Mawar".Mawar is still in Class IX at one of Temabarak District's MTs in 2022.Mawar dropped out of school a month before the final exam since she had been pregnant and needed to be married soon.This is a major source of concern not just for her parents but also for the school teachers as well as the local community.
Still in the same neighborhood, there was "Melati" (a pseudonym).Melati, like Mawar, is an MTs alumnus who has been married and even divorced.She was known as "the young widow of one kid" in the village where she lived.The moniker is widely used to describe widows who are relatively young (under 20 years old) and already have children.Even more distressing, many more "Melati" experienced a similar fate by getting the title "young widow of one kid".
These cases are examples of violations of marriage.In the instance of Mawar, there is a marital infraction, namely marrying a juvenile while still attending school.This is one form of violation seen from the perspective of positive law.On the other side, according to Islamic law, Mawar's pregnancy before marriage is a breach of marriage.
To begin, agents of charge of campaigning to avoid early marriage are required because the consequences are devastating, such as if the financial and economic conditions are not yet established, it will be subject to divorce, immature reproduction can lead to stunting, an unprepared mentality3 will be vulnerable to domestic abuse, and so on.As a result, pre-marriage education for Sakinah Family Ambassadors in Tembarak District is required to foster family resilience.

Research Method
This is a qualitative study. 4When considered from the standpoint of the purpose, this research comprises descriptive analysis research, which tries to describe and analyze the topic of the study.The Sakinah Family Ambassadors' activity program in Tembarak Distric, Temanggung Regency, is the object of field research. 5The Islamic Family Law approach was applied in this study.Data are gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. 6The data triangulation test was carried out by extending the observation period, performing in-depth interviews, and questioning coworkers.

a. Marriage Terminology
Marriage is derived from the Indonesian term "kawin", which signifies making a family with the opposite sex, having intercourse, or having sex.Marriage (Indonesian: "perkawinan") is also known as "pernikahan" derived from the word "nikah" ( ‫ن‬ ‫كا‬ ‫ح‬ ) which literally means "to collect, insert each other" and is used for the meaning of intercourse (wathi).The term "nikah" is frequently used to refer to intercourse (coitus), as well as the meaning of a marriage contract. 7 accordance with the term in Islamic law, there are several definitions, including: "Marriage according to the Syara' is a contract prescribed by the Syara' to enable enjoyment between men and women and to legitimize the pleasure of women with men".
Abu Yahya Zakariya Al-Anshary defines "The phrase "nikah" (marriage), according to Syara', refers to a contract that contains legal requirements about the legitimacy of sexual intercourse with the word "nikah" (marriage) or expressions that have similar meanings."definition cited by Zakiah Darajat8 "Contract with legal provisions allowing sexual intercourse with the declaration of "nikah" (marriage), "tazwij," or comparable meaning with both".Marriage, according to this interpretation, includes features of legal consequences, is founded on shared rights and duties, and seeks to form social relationships9 based on mutual service.Because marriage is a religious practice, it has the purpose or goal of seeking Allah SWT's blessings.
Marriage is seen as follows by Islamic jurists, as quoted by Amir Syarifuddin: Marriage, according to Al-Ahmad Ghandur in his book AL-Ahwal Al-Syakhsiyah Fi Al-Tasyri Al-Islamiy and Muhammad Abu Zahrah in his book AL-Ahwal AL-Syakhsiyah, is a contract that raises the ability to get along between men and women in the demands of human instincts, granting both parties reciprocally rights and obligations.
The concept of marriage and its purpose are laid forth in Articles 2 and 3 of the Compilation of Islamic Law.Marriage, according to Islamic law, is characterized as a highly powerful contract, or mitsaqan ghalizhan, to observe and carry out Allah's commands, which is defined as worship.Marriage is intended to achieve a sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah household life. 10t is stated in the Quran that living in pairs is the instinct of all creatures of God (Allah), including humans, as Allah says in Surah adz-Dzariat verse 49.
"And of everything We have created in pairs so that you may remember the greatness of Allah SWT". 11In Surah Yasin verse 36 stated; "Glory be to God, who has created all pairings, both what grows from the soil and what people do not know." 12slam regulates people to live in pairs through marriage, the requirements of which are articulated in the form of regulations known as "Marriage Law."

b. Pillars and Legal Conditions of Marriage
The pillars and conditions of a legal action decide whether or not it is legal from a legal perspective.Pillars are measures of what is lawful and what is unlawful.While conditions must exist in order to decide whether works (worships) are genuine, they are not included in the sequence of those works. 13These two words have such profound meaning that they must both be held.In a marriage, for example, the pillar and condition should not be neglected, in the sense that marriage is invalid if either one is missing or incomplete.
The marriage contract has several pillars and conditions that must be met.The pillars and conditions of a legal action decide whether or not it is legal from a legal perspective.Both terms have such similar meanings that they must be held simultaneously.In a marriage, the pillars and conditions should not be ignored.That is, a marriage is invalid if one or both are missing.
The provisions of the pillars and conditions are that the pillars must exist in a practice and are essential parts of the practice.
The majority of Islamic scholars (ulama) agree that marriage includes: a. prospective husband and wife who will marry.
b. presence of a guardian on the part of the bride.
The marriage contract will be considered legal if there is a guardian or representative who will marry the bride off.c. two witnesses.
The marriage contract will be legitimate if it is witnessed by two witnesses.d.Sighat of marriage contract, marriage solemnization, is stated by the guardian or representative of the bride and answered by the groom.
Chapter IV, Article 14, of the compilation of Islamic law on the principles of marriage states that the following conditions must exist for a marriage to be valid: a. prospective husband; b. prospective wife; c. guardian; d.Two witnesses, e. marriage solemnization.

c. The Age Limit of Marriage Based on Fiqh (Jurisprudence
The age limit for marriage is not discussed in the Fiqh books, either explicitly or implicitly.According to Ibn Humam, as cited by Amir Syarifuddin, marriage might take place between a little man and a little woman, and if the wife is nursed by the husband's mother, the marriage becomes haram (unlawful).
In Islamic law, marriage can be performed by people of all ages.Marriage can be performed if both the bride and the groom are mentally and spiritually capable of raising a family and are willing to live side by side with the community.Marriage requires preparation not only material but also self-readiness both physically and mentally for men and women. 14In the Qur'an, it is stated that the capacity of a married person is to have attained puberty (adolescence), as Allah says in the Q.S.An Nisa verse 6: believe they have been intelligent (excellent at maintaining wealth), give them their assets (Depag, 1994).
This puberty issue becomes very crucial since current research suggests that marriages performed at an early or young age are more likely to terminate in divorce.This issue makes sense since young couples' mental preparedness to handle early household life is insufficient.This concept was eventually incorporated into Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974. 15n Indonesian law, specifically in Law No. 1 of 1974 the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 1 of 1974 on marriage offers a comprehensive explanation of it.Because this rule conforms to the premise that "the prospective husband and wife must be mature physically and mentally 16 to be able to engage in a marriage, so that they can accomplish the aims of the marriage properly without terminating in divorce and acquire nice and healthy things".As a result, marriages between potential spouses who are still juveniles must be avoided.Furthermore, marriage is linked to population issues.The lower age limit for a woman to marry results in a higher birth rate.In this regard, this law determines the age limit for marriage at 19 years old.
As stipulated by the provisions of Article 288 of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, everyone has the right to form a family and continue offspring through legal marriage, and the state guarantees the child's right to survival, growth, and development, as well as protection from violence and discrimination.
Article 7 paragraph (1) of Law Number 1 of 1974 states that marriage is only permissible if the male is 19 (nineteen) years old and the woman reaches the age of 16 (sixteen) years old.The provision allows marriage in the age of children for women because a child is defined, in Article 1 Number 1 of the law on amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, as those who are not yet 18 (eighteen) years old, including children who are still in the mother's womb. 17he Constitutional Court of the Republic of Indonesia issued Constitutional Court Decision Number 22/PUU-XV/2017, which states that "however, when the difference in treatment between men and women affects or hinders the fulfillment of basic rights or constitutional rights of citizens, both belonging to the group of civil and political rights as well as economic, educational, social, and cultural rights, which should not be differentiated solely on the basis of gender".18

d. The legal marriage age limit
As shown by Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974 (hereinafter referred to as Undang Undang Perkawinan, or UUP), the prospective groom is only permitted to marry if he has achieved the age of 19 (nineteen) years old and the prospective bride has reached the age of 16 (sixteen) years old.
No. 1 of 1974 on marriage had finally been renewed after 45 years.Article 7 paragraph (1), which previously specified that the minimum age for women to marry was 16 years old, was subsequently amended to 19 years old, the same as males.This amendment accompanies the judgment of the Constitutional Court No. 22/PPUU-XV/2017 on the application for judicial review of Article 7 paragraph (1), which is deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory.The amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage were legally entrenched in Law No. 16 of 2019, which was issued on October 15, 2019. 19e updated UUP (marriage law) states in Articles (2) and (3) that the parents or guardians of the prospective groom and/or bride can request to the court for a dispensation of marriage for urgent circumstances, provided by adequate supporting evidence.After hearing the perspectives of the two prospective bride and groom, the court grants a marriage dispensation based on the spirit of avoiding child marriage with moral considerations, religion, customs, and culture, psychological factors, health concerns, and the consequences (Law No. 16 of 2019).
Changes in this regulation have an impact on other regulations, particularly those under it, such as provisions in the compilation of Islamic law.Article 15 paragraph (1) states that "for the benefit of the family and household, marriage may only be carried out at the prospective bride's and groom's age set by Article 7 of Law Number 1 of 1974, namely, the prospective husband at least 19 years old and the prospective wife at least 16 years".
Prior to the changes in the Marriage Law, the provisions of the maturity of children can be seen in Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, where the formulation of a person who is categorized as a child is someone who is not yet 18 (eighteen) years old, including children who are still in the womb, so that adult provisions are 18 years old.Therefore, maturity can be defined as a person's ability to carry out lawful activities. 20Then it is mentioned that one of the responsibilities and obligations of parents to their children is to prevent marriage from occurring when the children are of legal marriageable age.
A person can still engage in an underage marriage if specific conditions are met, as determined by the Religious Court and known as the dispensation of marriage.Underage marriage is defined as marriage with a potential bride and groom who have not achieved the marriage age requirement.This type of marriage will be authorized and legally valid if it is done through the institution of a religious court, which has absolute jurisdiction over processing instances of marriage dispensation. 21th the amendment of Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Revised Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, it provides for an increase in the number of applications for dispensation of the age of marriage at the Religious Courts.This is due to the fact that the marriage age for women who were previously 16 has been raised to 19 years.

e. Sakinah Family
Based on Islamic traditions, having a family is one way to sustain human dignity and honor.Having an ideal family is everyone's dream.The following are the sociological functions of the family 22 :

Biological Function
The family is a great environment to have offspring in a healthy and lawful manner.The family is a great environment for education for all family members.

Religious Function
The family became the first place to instill religious values.

Protective Function
The family transforms into a safe place for all of its members, protecting them from both internal and external threats.

Socialization Function
The family serves as a place to socialize social values within the family.

Recreational Function
The family becomes a lovely place to rest and unwind, providing freshness and comfort to all members.

Economical Function
The family is built on a strong economic basis.It is intended that the basic needs of the family be met.
Creating a Sakinah family is not easy.Sakinah means peace.Sakinah, in this context, is regarded as a state of tranquility in the face of all challenges and obstacles in life.
The No. 1 of 1974 on marriage had finally been renewed after 45 years.Article 7 paragraph (1), which previously specified that the minimum age for women to marry was 16 years old, was subsequently amended to 19 years old, the same as males.This amendment accompanies the judgment of the Constitutional Court No. 22/PPUU-XV/2017 on the application for judicial review of Article 7 paragraph (1), which is deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory.The amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage were legally entrenched in Law No. 16 of 2019, which was issued on October 15, 2019.
The updated UUP (Marriage law) states in Articles ( 2) and (3) that the parents or guardians of the prospective groom and/or bride can request to the court for a dispensation of marriage for urgent circumstances, provided by adequate supporting evidence.After hearing the perspectives of the two prospective bride and groom, the court grants a marriage dispensation based on the spirit of avoiding child marriage by considering moral, religion, customs, and culture, psychological factors, health concerns, and the consequences (Law No. 16 of 2019).As shown by Marriage Law No. 1 of 1974 (hereinafter referred to as Undang Undang Perkawinan, or UUP), the prospective groom is only permitted to marry if he has achieved the age of 19 (nineteen) years old and the prospective bride has reached the age of 16 (sixteen) years old.
Early child marriage prevention ambassadors involve students from each school of SMP/MTs and MA/SMA/SMK (Junior and High Schools) in Tembarak District, Temanggung Regency, in conducting the "Stop early marriage" campaign.Institutionally, the ambassadors of early child marriage prevention do not yet have a formal coordinating agency, such as the TPQ.Because they come from different schools, they become representatives of their schools.The early marriage prevention ambassadors initiative was held for the first time in Tembarak, a collaboration between INISNU Temanggung community service team and Forum Komunikasi Penyuluh Agama Islam Non PNS Kecamatan Tembarak (Non-Civil Servant Islamic Extension Communication Forum).
Tembarak District is geographically located on the slopes of Mount Sumbing, and the majority of the population makes their living as farmers.Culturally, the majority of population there regarded education as only "luwes-luwes amrih lumrah kancane" (Javanese) which means "to be like as friends do" This is what leads to a high number of teenage marriages, even while the bride and groom are still in school.Another concern is that early marriage among teenagers is a natural occurrence for the majority of parents there.This is the reason for the initiative of early marriage prevention ambassadors.
The greatest influence on teenage lives comes from friends.Through this effort, they become activists who may later give socialization on the risks of early marriage.Socialization is definitely carried out in different ways.Having been equipped with the materials and resources provided in early marriage prevention ambassador training, they may share knowledge through communication and interaction with colleagues.
The communication and interaction are critical to the ambassador's effectiveness in preventing early marriage in Tembarak District.In school-age children, friends are very influential in child development.Typically, teens confide in one another.The manner in which ambassadors communicate becomes a critical element when a friend shares his or her problems.It can also help reduce a child's chances of engaging in negative behaviors.Teenagers generally have a unique way of interacting with their peers.
Interaction among friends is also an important key for an ambassador to prevent early marriage.Each school's circle of affiliation must be different.Based on the material from the coaching of ambassadors, even if someone has a very large circle, the estuary is eventually in the family.As proven by situations when a person is sick, parents are the first to care.Parents patiently wait for their ill children to recover.Given this, will the children listen to and obey their parents' advice?It is absolutely not that easy.And if the children have recovered and are healthy enough to begin their activities, they are more likely to share and listen to advice from their peers.Interaction through this relationship will also have an impact on children's development.
A teenager must be able to control his or her emotions, communicate effectively, and make decisions.Managing these emotions is crucial for everyone, not just teens.Towards this teenage phase, children tend to already have a sense of attraction to the opposite sex.Sometimes the sensation of attraction is able to drive teens into a position where they have to battle for girls or boys who are adored, to fight, beat one another, and even show evidence that may lead to a tragic consequence.This is the importance of managing emotions.
As explained earlier, communication is an important key to the development of adolescents nowadays.Healthy communication can take place at home, at school, and in the community.A healthy and intelligent teenager usually has a positive brand image through healthy communication, both with parents, siblings, teachers, friends at school, friends at home, and other neighbors.Following these two ideas, one's decision-making becomes the final way in which one takes a position on the difficulties they confront.With the appropriate emotion control and healthy communication, they will be able to make right decision.These three critical factors are also critical to teenagers' success in regulating themselves so that they can subsequently have a positive impact and influence on other peers.

g. Analysis of the enforcement results of Law No. 16 of 2019 on marriage through early marriage prevention ambassadors in Temanggung
Prior to the changes in the Marriage Law, the provisions of the maturity of children can be seen in Law No. 23 of 2002 on Child Protection, where the formulation of a person who is categorized as a child is someone who is not yet 18 (eighteen) years old, including children who are still in the womb, so that adult provisions are 18 years old.Therefore, maturity can be defined as a person's ability to carry out lawful activities. 24Then it is mentioned that one of the responsibilities and obligations of parents to their children is to prevent marriage from occurring when the children are of legal marriageable age.
A person can still engage in an underage marriage if specific conditions are met, as determined by the Religious Court and known as the dispensation of marriage.Underage marriage is defined as marriage with a potential bride and groom who have not achieved the marriage age requirement.This type of marriage will be authorized and legally valid if it is done through the institution of a religious court, which has absolute jurisdiction over processing instances of marriage dispensation. 25th the amendment of Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Revised Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage, it provides for an increase in the number of applications for dispensation of the age of marriage at the Religious Courts.This is due to the fact that the marriage age for women who were previously 16 has been raised to 19 years.
The coaching of early marriage prevention ambassadors in Tembarak District has a beneficial impact.This influence can be defined as a difference in beliefs, mindset, or behavior prior to and following the treatment.The training program is considered effective if there is a positive change.
The influences that occur in the building of the ambassadors' character to avoid early marriage are how they handle emotions, create good communication, and make decisions.This is the expected outcome or impact of a mentorship program.The impacts are shown in two ways: changes in mindset and changes in behavior.Mindset change is a shift in mindset in the form of Better Life Principles, such as the desire to believe that a student should complete his or her education first in order to seek success and not hurry into marriage.It contributes to the participants' stability to continue achieving their goals by completing their education with the ambassador's advice to prevent early marriage.
The mentorship is provided by encouraging and motivating them to fight against early marriage, particularly in their own schools and the larger society.

IV. Conclusion
Students from SMP/MTs and SMA/MA/MA (Junior and High Schools) in Tembarak District, Temanggung Regency, are the target of early marriage prevention ambassadors.Coaching is provided through guidance and reproductive health materials presentations from the Public Health Office, as well as self-management skills from the Temanggung Regency Ministry of Religious Affairs, and the creation of a tutorial video for the "Stop Child Marriage" campaign, which is completed by the "Jo kawin bocah" (Javanese) which means "no child marriage").The ABCD (asset-based community development) technique is employed, in which community empowerment and development are based on the mapping of local assets held by the community through phases 1) Discovery, 2) Dream, 3) Design, 4) Define, and 5) Destiny.Through reproductive health expertise, early marriage prevention ambassadors are progressively sharing ideas and understanding about the influence of early marriage on reproductive health.Through self management skills, the ambassadors are progressively giving up ideas on how to control emotions, communicate effectively, and make good decisions through selfmanagement skills.
On the other hand, mentoring is conducted by offering encouragement and motivation so that they may speak out against early marriage and continue to pursue their goals through the "Jo kawin bocah" video from each school.Furthermore, organizing majlisan (an assembly) at the assisted schools is an important aspect of the intense mentoring carried out to shape the mindset and enhance the faith of the assisted participants.
