Early marriage causes psychological problems and physical and material losses that are not in line with the purpose of family formation in Islam. Using a mixed method approach, this article utilizes questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation obtained using Structural Equation Modeling with the Partial Least Square approach equipped with qualitative analysis. The achievement of family formation goals is measured using MaqAsid Al-Usrah indicators by Jamal Al-Din 'Atiyah Muhammad. The measurement results indicate that early marriage families in the Madura Muslim community achieve family formation goals to ensure human life continuity, regulate male-female relationships, maintain lineage clarity, and preserve religiosity within the family. At a methodological level, this research contributes to various models for measuring family resilience in establishing and building a Based on reliability and validity tests, all indicators of maqAsid al-usrahAos Jamal Al-Din AoAtiyah Muhammad are declared valid and reliable so that they can be used to measure the achievement of family formation goals in other subjects in further research studies.

Vol 23 No. Introduction Early marriage is a worldwide concern. The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) defines early marriage as any formal or informal marriage that occurs before the age of 18. 1 The Child Protection Law states that those before the age of 18 are still children. Therefore, the BKKBN provides a marriage age limit of 21 years for women and 25 years for men. 2 Law No. 16 of 2019 Article 7, paragraph 1 states that marriage is only permitted if the male and female parties have reached the age of 19. if they are still under that age, it is called early marriage. Indonesia is among the countries with a high prevalence of early marriage. Data from 2018 shows that 1 in 9 women aged 20-24, or approximately 11%, were married before 18. In contrast, only 1 in 100 men in the same age group, or about 1%, married before 18. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the national early marriage rate declined from 11. 21% in 2018 to 10. 82% in 2019 and 35% in 2020. However, nine provinces showed an increased early marriage rate despite the overall decrease. In 2020, 22 provinces had child marriage rates exceeding the national average. UNICEF.

Galuh Widitya Qomaro, et. Navigating Early Marriage: A MethodologicalA | 479 The number of early marriages is relatively high, particularly in several outermost, frontier, and underdeveloped regions, with East Java province also showing significant figures. 4 The Head of the Youth Section of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) of East Java Province stated that in East Java, early marriages were common on Madura Island: Bangkalan. Sampang. Pamekasan, and Sumenep. Statistically,6 early marriage in Madura is lower than in some other areas, especially the Tapal Kuda area. 7 Several ethnic groups inhabit the Tapal Kuda area. The majority of the ethnicity is Pandalungan and Javanese. Pandalungan ethnicity is the result of a synthesis of Madurese and Javanese ethnicity. This is one of the reasons for the high number of early marriages in the Tapal Kuda area. Law No. 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage contains a special provision in Article 7 Paragraph . , which increases the minimum age for marriage for women and men to 19.

Vol 23 No. Previously, the minimum age for marriage was 16 years for women and 19 years for men. This rule change was based on the consideration of the Constitutional Court that this article, which regulates the minimum age for marriage, is a form of age discrimination because there are differences between women and men solely based on sex. 9 Setting the minimum age for marriage is part of the government's goal to reduce marital problems such as underage marriages. Article 7 Paragraph . stipulates that in the case of deviations from Article 1 Paragraph . of Law No. 16 of 2019 may request a dispensation from marriage to the local religious court. Applications can be submitted by both the groom's and bride's parents to the religious court in the area where they live. The religious court will then examine and decide whether to grant or refuse a marriage dispensation in the form of a stipulation. The age limit for marriage is determined basically for the sake of benefit and goodness, especially for the prospective bride and groom. The religious court, as a judicial institution that has the authority to issue marriage dispensation permits for Muslim communities in the last five years, from 2017 to August 2021, has received 1,588 cases of requests for marriage dispensation. 11 This number is expected to rise, partly due to the increased minimum marriage age and the impact of various disasters.

UNICEF reported that 938 children in Indonesia dropped out of school due to early marriages, with 75% of them unable to continue their education. 13 The Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) stated that between the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and February 2021, more than 150 children left school to marry or work. The primary reason cited was the economic hardship faced by their families, which the pandemic had exacerbated. 14 Many of these children sought to alleviate their parents' financial burden by working or getting married. The increase in early marriages does not eliminate the fact that this creates problems for couples, such as the occurrence of quarrels, constant bickering, clashes between husband and wife,15 disharmony, lack of awareness to be responsible in household life, cut-off access to education,16 impact on reproductive health,17 and domestic violence to divorce. 18 Child marriage will set a bad precedent in society.

Resilience skills are essential for families to navigate and adapt to significant life changes or difficult situations. Marriage is encouraged and regulated in Islam because it has a noble purpose. In general, marriage between a man and a woman is an effort to maintain selfrespect . ifz 'ir. so as not to fall into forbidden acts, maintain the continuity of healthy human life/offspring . ifz nas. , establish a healthy household life, filled with affection between husband and wife, and mutual help between the two for the common good. 20 Although several maqAsid scholars have explored the family-related aspects of maqAsid, there is currently no specific instrument to measure the achievement of family formation goals. Jamal Al-Din 'Atiyah Muhammad provides a more holistic set of indicators to assess whether these goals . aqAsid al-usra. have been met. His perspective offers a detailed framework for evaluating various dimensions of family life, such as the regulation of spousal relationships, the continuity of human life, the clarity of lineage, the preservation of religiosity within the family, and financial management. The strength of this approach lies in its comprehensive nature, providing clear empirical guidelines for measurement, which are often lacking in other maqAsid Syeh Sarip Hadaiyatullah. Nurul Huda.

Galuh Widitya Qomaro, et. Navigating Early Marriage: A MethodologicalA | 483 However, a limitation of this approach is its potential lack of generalizability to non-Muslim families or researchers who prefer more narrowly focused maqAsid The study also recognizes that this framework requires further validation through its application in diverse social contexts. Given the on going debates surrounding early marriage, this study aims to evaluate the resilience of families formed through early marriages in the Madurese Muslim community. It further seeks to analyze the phenomenon of early marriage and the resilience of these families through the lens of Jamal Al-Din 'Atiyah Muhammad's maqAsid al-usrah framework. This research uses mixed methods. The combined research method is a method that combines quantitative methods and qualitative methods to be used together or alternately so as to obtain a more comprehensive, valid, reliable, and objective data result. 21 The mixed methods approach, which integrates both quantitative and qualitative models, is well-suited for family law research as it provides a more comprehensive perspective. This approach allows researchers to analyze empirical aspects through quantitative data, such as relationships between variables in family formation, while gaining insights into individual subjective experiences through qualitative data. In Islamic family law studies, mixed methods complement the normative approach, which is often descriptivenarrative, by offering more practical and empirical results. Previous reputable studies have also supported using mixed methods in legal research, as it combines the external validity of quantitative data with the depth of qualitative analysis. Compared to the normative approach, while the normative-narrative model effectively explains Sugiono. Metode Penelitian Kombinasi (Mix Method.

That is what Islam teaches so that humans can satisfy their desires within the shar'i framework. Apart from encouraging every adult individual to form a household.

Implementing these provisions effectively regulates the relationship between men and women, maintains offspring, creates a harmonious and loving family, maintains lineage, maintains diversity in the family. Galuh Widitya Qomaro, et. Navigating Early Marriage: A MethodologicalA | 503 manages good relations, and manages the family's financial Jamal Al-Din AoAtiyah Muhammad states that there are several important points in the family which are benchmarks for achieving the goal of forming family (MaqAsid al-usra. : regulating the relationship between men and women (A)IOI EEC IO EIIOA, maintaining the continuity of human life (AEIOA/A)A EIEA, creating a sense of saknah, mawaddah, wa rahmah (A)COC EEI OIEO OEIA, maintaining clarity of lineage (A)A EIA, maintaining religiosity within the family (A)A EOI OA EA, managing the basic aspects of the family (A)IOI EI IEO EEA, and managing the financial aspects of the family ( AIOI EI IEOEA A)EEA. Islamic marriage considers men and women to have equal rights and obligations as husband and wife. Islam regulates the recommendation to marry and the prohibition of celibacy, the prohibition of same-sex relations, the prohibition of adultery, rules about polygamy, rules about divorce, rules about khulu', fasakh, and other rules that have never been known before, or even if there are rules, it is felt that they have not yet position husband and wife in a balanced way so that injustice often occurs in the pattern of family relationships. 31 Islamic provisions regarding the rules of opposite-sex relations are, of course, closely related to the rise of negative news today due to society's neglect in managing opposite-sex Jamal Al-Din AoAtiyah Muhammad.

Vol 23 No. 32 The Madurese, as an obedient society to Islamic teachings, prefer to maintain the association of their children with the opposite sex through marriage. They understand that there are rules for maintaining oppositesex relationships without any marital ties. When parents think their child already has a lover or someone has already proposed, they are hastened to tie the knot with marriage so as to minimize the occurrence of relationships that Islam prohibits. The Madurese people have followed this kind of understanding for a long time. Protecting opposite-sex relationships is closely related to maintaining human dignity in marriage. stated by the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs in Sumenep City District. Afif, among the pillars of strengthening marriage are zawAj . artnership and togethernes. and mu'Asyarah bil ma'rf . reating each other well and properl. Islam even regulates sexual intercourse manners to a practical level. 33 Sexual relations are an important factor in family harmony, but sex is not the main goal of having a family. This good treatment between husband and wife applies also in sexual relations so that if it can be implemented in the family, then physical and spiritual satisfaction can be achieved. In the aspect of maintaining the continuity of human life, the Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to choose fertile potential partners so that they could give birth to children as successors to the struggles of their parents. Maintaining the continuity of human life means making a man a father and a wife a mother. The purpose of Kurniasih. AuKasus Anak Hamil Di Luar Nikah Sudah Darurat.

The institution of marriage becomes very urgent in order to see the purpose of this marriage. This marriage rule can still be realized with the ban on samesex marriage, the prohibition on celibacy, the prohibition on performing medical procedures on female reproductive organs, preventing pregnancy, and other regulations. AlShatibi categorizes protection of offspring as part of maqAsid or malahah al-darriyyah as something that must exist for the benefit of religion and the world. If this is not there, it will cause damage and even loss of life. It is considered difficult for perpetrators of early marriage to realize aspects of protecting offspring optimally, especially with regard to reproductive health. The marriage age stipulation in the marriage law is not suitable to be used as a benchmark for the occurrence of marriage because at the age of under 20 years, a person has not yet experienced maturity in himself, and the reproductive organs have not matured and are not ready to experience pregnancy until delivery. 35 Seven out of twenty interviewees stated that they had not had children because they were not pregnant. Three interviewees stated that they postponed pregnancy through the pill family planning program because they felt they were not ready to get The other three interviewees had been pregnant, had given birth to children, and were growing up healthy.

There is nothing wrong when someone chooses not to have children if the decision benefits the individual, family, society, country, and humanity as a whole as long as the husband and wife have agreed upon the decision. None of the twenty interviewees conducted reproductive health checks before and after marriage. PERMA Regulation No. 5 of 2019 regarding the requirements for medical examinations before marriage is an essential action within the context of hifz nafs and hifz Through pre-marital medical tests, the spread of diseases that can be transmitted genetically to offspring can be prevented so that the babies born will have good health conditions.

This action is urgent to take in order to maintain the expected integrity of the marriage and eliminate the risk of endangering the household relationship to be built. This supports Al-Shatibi's thinking, which states that to maintain al-sarriyyAt al-khamsah in two ways: First, from the point of view of holding it . in nihAyati al-wjud. , namely by managing and maintaining things that can realize their existence. Second, in terms of its elimination . in nihayati al-adam. , by preventing the things that cause its absence. 36 Abu Ishaq Ibrahim Al-Syatibi. Al-Muwafaqat Fi Usul Al-SyariAoah,. Galuh Widitya Qomaro, et. Navigating Early Marriage: A MethodologicalA | 507 To realize a sense of saknah, mawaddah, wa rahmah, marriage is a gateway for husband and wife to express their love for each other, so marriage is not just a means of channeling biological needs. This goal can be achieved in spouse relationships through mu'Asharah bi alma'rf. A saknah, mawaddah, wa rahmah family is the best environment for children to grow and develop. As the smallest unit in society, the family has the most dominant role in child development. A saknah, mawaddah, wa rahmah family will provide peace and tranquility in the child's mind. Respondents' responses in interpreting peace in the family varied: happy when children get along well and are happy, husbands don't play crooks, and even just having enough income has made respondents feel peaceful. An attitude of reprimanding each other supports this happiness if something goes wrong without spitting out problems on others and supporting each other if there are The purpose of marriage is not only limited to fulfilling biological needs. Still, it is also closely related to creating harmonious, peaceful, and serene psychological conditions through a loving relationship between husband and wife. Marriage is a means for husband and wife to express their affection for each other to create a feeling of serenity and peace. Even if there is conflict, the conflict will not destroy the integrity of the household because there is a strong bond between husband and wife. 37 Hikmah, an interviewee, mentioned that she and her husband had never fought.

Based on the poll results, 100% of respondents never said divorce to their partner even though they were angry. One way to create a saknah, mawaddah, wa rahmah family is if the couple is sufficiently ready to build a family. Having readiness before marriage is one of the plans every prospective husband and wife should make. 38 Planning that is carried out by every prospective husband and wife before marriage can be in the form of readiness from various dimensions of human development, such as intellectual, emotional, social, moral, individual, financial, and mental readiness. As an interviewee. David complained about the lack of readiness to build a household and his ex-wife's behavior. Preparation regarding marriage and how to build a family is still limited and only a little is prepared at home and in college. All Offices of the Ministry of Religion in Madura have conducted marriage guidance. Marriage Guidance is held to equip the bride and groom to respond to marital and family problems. It also prepares them to avoid common marital problems39 and increases their ability to create a saknah family.

Pre-marital counseling, both for men and women, is basically useful in providing skills in managing marital dynamics in the family. Guidance during marriage is a Sakinah Heritage in which there is a BERKAH (Learning the Benefits of Marriag. The target of this program is those whose marriages are still 1-5 years old or people who need marriage guidance. This program provides skills in managing mutual and equitable relationships, as well as managing family finances. The inability to manage finances can lead to divisions in the family. One of the routine socializations carried out by the Ministry of Religion in Sumenep is guidance on pre-marital marriages for school-age youth, carried out at Madrasah Aliyah or other senior high school level. This activity is done optimally because it is carried out in the school environment by taking allotment of student study time. Very few users of pre-marital counseling, and marriage counseling activities must be carried out independently by the prospective bride and groom. None of the interviewees conducted premarital counseling. This lack of preparation causes problems when adolescents enter adulthood. Someone too young in marriage certainly is not ready to take the ark of the household. Suppose a couple decides to marry but is not physically and mentally ready to marry.

In marriage readiness, there needs to be adjustments that individuals must make after marriage later. According to Hurlock, some adjustments must be made with partners, such as sexual adjustments, financial adjustments, adjustments with the partner's family, and adjustments to the period when becoming parents. Not a few interviewees had just known their partners not long before marriage. One of the interviewees mentioned getting to know the husband-to-be five days before the wedding. This brief introduction happened because of an arranged marriage or the prospective wife had just finished her education at the Islamic boarding school. In order to realize maqAsid al-usrah. Islam regulates the pattern of spous relations through mu'Asharah bi alma'rf so that it will not hurt both partners. The majority of intact families state that in their family, there is no violence between husband and wife, no family members are involved in problems, all family members are given the opportunity to express their opinions and needs, and husband and wife respect, love, share opinions, and work However, there are still 4. 7% of families who experience violence between spouses and experience Euis Sunarti.

However, the most important thing in a household relationship is that the husband and wife be a pair of friends who are mutually responsible and trust each As the age of marriage increases, sexual needs decrease, and the quality of friendship increases. 43 Allah says in Ar-Rum: 21 e AaOaI eI OaN a eI aEa aC Ea aE eI aI eI aIe aA a aE eI aeaO U Eaa e aEIa eO aEaeO aN aO a a aE aeO Ia aE eI acI aOacU acOa eIaU a acIA a a s AE a E OA A EaaC eOsI Oaca aA acEaeO aIA a AOA EA Allah gives two potentials so that the goal of marriage . n the form of saknah/tranquilit. can be achieved: love and affection. So it is this love and affection that must always be nurtured so that this potential continues to be honed and becomes an integral part of the household. The maturing age of marriage is also very important to minimize the divorce rate in Indonesia, which is still quite high. Divorce usually occurs due to many factors, and one of the strong factors is the husband and wife's unpreparedness in navigating the ark of the household, which is usually carried out by underage couples. In the aspect of hifz al-nasab. Islam strictly prohibits adultery, which results in unclear lineage of a child. Islam also prohibits adopting children who are recognized as their own offspring. In connection with this aspect. Islam also prohibits concealing the status of children in the Muryantinah M. Handayani.

Children who clearly know their ancestry will have a clear identity. As a Muslim, children will get their rights as children if they have a family relationship with their father. As part of society, children will not be bullied because of their unclear origins. There were no respondents who had adopted children or who intended to adopt their children, so the respondents did not feel the need to understand the rules regarding adoption. of respondents have not been blessed with children but have no intention of caring for children other than their biological children. Nasab is the foundation of kinship in the family. Islam pays great attention to protecting lineage from anything that causes mixing or humiliates the glory of Maintaining honor as protection of lineage is reflected in the verses of the Al-Qur'an regarding the prohibition of adultery.

Unfortunately, children in almost 17% of respondents with a single-family structure do not have birth certificates. This status is a risk from marriages that are not registered at the Office of Religious Affairs. Furthermore, to maintain religiosity in the family, the Prophet Muhammad provided an overview of the criteria that should be considered when choosing a husband and wife: physical, family, economic, and religious. Of the four criteria, the religious aspect must be the main 46 A Muslim should strive to get the noblest ideal partner in the sight of Allah, namely someone who obeys religious rules.

Masduki stated that it is better to get a prospective son-in-law with a good religion even though he is not economically well-off than to prioritize the economic aspect because religion is a provision for the afterlife. The husband's responsibility in the family should not only be a matter of the diversity of his family members but all aspects of the family. A person who has a holistic understanding of Islam certainly understands the concept of 'leader' as conveyed in the following famous hadith:48 UA eI A:A I OE NEE AEO NEE EON OEI OCOEA:A OCOEAUAI NEE I IA A OEE OA NEN ONO IOEAUA uEII OIOE I ONAUAOeI IOE I ONA A OEI OA IE ONAUA OIE O OA O ON OIOE I ONAUAI ONA AOIOE I ON AO EOA The actualization of religious values in the Madurese family is implemented through lifelong obedience to the figures of Buppa' and Babbu', andhap asor . , reciting the Koran, tahlilan . eciting lA ilA ha illallAh with other dua for something purpose. some quranic, prayer and other religious activities.

In this context. Jasser Auda also said that the existence of Maqasid Al-Shari`ah in the Islamic legal system occupies a purposeful position . whose realization can take the form of various forms of benefit goals. Taking care of the basic aspects of the household begins when entering the family level, where husbands, wives, and children born will be faced with several rules that structure the relationship between family members. All family members must fulfill their rights and obligations.

The Madurese, based on tradition, are obliged to build a house as a gift . for daughters who are already married. After starting a family, girls in Madura live with their parents, and boys go to their wives' house to live with their parents-in-law. 55 This settlement pattern supports the achievement of harmonization among family members so that the process of socialization and adaptation of new members in the family becomes easier. Among the indicators of achieving basic aspects in the family are fulfilling rights and obligations between families and family decision-making through deliberations. In several interviewees, the obligation to fulfill family maintenance as a husband's obligation has not been Several respondents and interviewees also stated that decisions related to pregnancy and family financial management were not based on deliberation, so there appeared to be an imbalance in the family between husband and wife.

Mohammad Hipni, as Kyai in Bangkalan, stated that parents in Madura tend to marry off their daughters immediately if there is a candidate because there will be a transition from parents to husbands related to maintenance concerning women's behavior and Islamic marriage is the entry point for the birth of new rules relating to financial aspects, such as the husband's obligation to give dowry to his wife as proof that he is a serious and responsible man. The husband also has an obligation to provide for his wife and children, including providing maintenance for divorced wives, providing wages for nursing mothers, inheritance laws, will laws for relatives, family endowments, estate trusteeship, and other regulations related to financial aspects. 29% of 56 Jamal Al-Din AoAtiyah Muhammad.
