Abstract

The present study is motivated by the high potential for divorce among early marriage practitioners, as revealed in several previous studies. Therefore, efforts are needed to strengthen family resilience among young couples registered at the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama) in North Bogor, Indonesia. This research seeks to address two main questions what are the factors contributing to early marriage in KUA North Bogor, and what strategies can be employed to build family resilience among those who have entered early marriage in the area. This study adopts a field research design with a descriptive-analytic approach, combining normative legal and sociological perspectives. Data were collected through documentation and interviews with early marriage couples and marriage registrars (penghulu) at KUA North Bogor. The data were analyzed descriptively using the family resilience theory, which explains how families adapt to difficulties and life challenges. The findings reveal that early marriage in KUA North Bogor is influenced by five major factors: the desire to avoid zina (premarital sexual relations), religious belief and conviction, family influence, economic conditions, and educational attainment. Efforts to build family resilience among early marriage practitioners are implemented through four key dimensions: communication resilience, physical resilience, psychological resilience, and social resilience. This study provides practical implications for couples who have engaged in early marriage, helping them maintain household harmony and reduce the potential for conflict, domestic violence, and divorce.
