Strategies for Preventing Early Marriage in Seneng, Banyurojo Village, Magelang Regency
Abstract
Early marriage in Indonesia is a pressing social problem that reflects a structural imbalance between cultural tradition, religious norms, and modern economic challenges, with a prevalence of 5.9% among women aged 20–24. The problem deepens the cycle of poverty and gender inequality among vulnerable groups in rural areas. The aim of this outreach activity is to prevent early marriage by increasing awareness of, and compliance with, Law No. 16 of 2019. The strategies used include outreach, education, and collaboration among students of the Faculty of Law of Universitas Muhammadiyah Magelang (UNIMMA), Advocate Hassan Latief, and the community of Seneng, Banyurojo Village. The solution method uses a participatory approach through community empowerment in schools and among vulnerable groups in Seneng, Banyurojo Village. The activity was held on 24 December 2025 with 20 participants, including adolescents and parents. The results show an increase in the community's knowledge of the risks of early marriage, marked by a decrease in the intention to marry early and an increase in legal awareness. In conclusion, the outreach program is effective in reducing early marriage through continuous education
