Abstract

The phenomenon of child marriage in Talango District, Madura, continues despite being contrary to national law and children's rights principles, due to complex social, cultural, economic, and religious factors. Traditional values such as tengka and sabbhu’, along with the strong dominance of patriarchal structures, make this practice a means of maintaining family honour, strengthening social networks, and serving as a strategy for moral and economic protection. This study focuses on answering two main questions: what are the forms of implementation and dynamics of the child marriage tradition in Talango District, and why does the local community continue to uphold it in their social and cultural life? This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design that focuses on the practice of arranged marriage for children in Talango Sub-district, Madura. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies of research subjects consisting of parents, arranged marriage children, religious leaders, traditional leaders, and educators. Data were analysed thematically through the stages of coding, theming, interpretation and triangulation to gain an in-depth and holistic understanding of the social, cultural and impact dynamics of the practice of arranged marriage in the context of the local community. The results of the study indicate that the practice of child marriage in Talango District, Madura, persists due to cultural, religious, economic, and social norms, particularly the concepts of family honour (ajhina) and shame (asap rasa), which encourage parents to marry off their children at a young age in order to maintain their reputation and avoid social disgrace. In practice, parents and extended families play a dominant role through inter-family agreements, while children are minimally involved in decision-making, leading to a disparity between family interests and children's rights. Overall, this practice is viewed as an entrenched custom (urf) in society, yet it does not fully align with the principles of maqāṣid al-syarī‘ah or positive law. Therefore, social and legal reconstruction is necessary through an educational, cultural, and dialogic approach involving religious leaders, traditional figures, the government, and families to protect children’s rights and future.
