Abstract

Protecting and implementing children's rights in marriage in Indonesia plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and future of children. Law Number 23 of 2002 on Child Protection and Law Number 1 of 1974 on Marriage, as well as Islamic Law Compilation, regulate child protection in marriage. This protection includes children's rights to live, grow, develop, and participate optimally, as well as protection from violence and discrimination. Implementing children's rights in marriage in Indonesia still faces several challenges. One of the challenges is early marriage, which still occurs in some regions, such as Lebak Regency. The lack of consistency and seriousness of policy implementers in handling child marriage becomes one of the factors influencing the implementation of child protection. In an effort to improve child protection, the government and society must work together to increase public awareness about the prohibition of child marriage. Additionally, the government must improve the quality of special protection for children and improve the quality of women's rights protection.
