Abstract

This research reveals a new trend in the phenomenon of early marriage
among the millennial generation. The motives for early marriage have
undergone a transformative change, no longer driven by tradition, parental
intervention, cultural norms, or religious figures, but rather influenced by
knowledge and personal choice as a result of digital applications. The study
also describes the preventive measures taken by judicial institutions to
prevent early marriage. This research is qualitative in nature, with primary
data obtained through interviews and document studies, including
interviews with a sample of millennials and two judges from the Yogyakarta
Religious Court.. Key findings of this study are, first, the transformation of
early marriage trends in Yogyakarta City stems from changes in social and
legal norms shaped by digital figures, trends, and framing. The
transformation in millennials' thinking when making decisions about early
marriage is due to compliance with norms and the most rational choice. They
decided to marry early because it provided economic security amid economic
hardship. Second, judicial prevention is carried out through the issuance of
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in courts for the legislation of early
marriage applications through the SIDIKA application, as it aims to protect
personal, social, and economic interests, which are part of the public interest
(maslahah mulghah) aligned with the dimensions of maqasid shariah.
