Indonesian authorities require all non-Indonesian citizens to obtain a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage from their Embassy prior to marriage in Indonesia. To obtain the No Impediment to Marriage, the U.S. citizen must come personally to the Embassy and sign the Statement before a Consular Officer. The Statement can be downloaded at the following link: form and instructions (PDF 1 MB). There are two types of statements:

Indonesia already had a law in place that bans adultery. This new law is a revision of the existing one and will ban all sex outside of marriage. Cohabitation between unmarried couples will also be banned.

Whilst the law would technically apply to tourists, the Governor or Bali, Wayan Koster, has said that authorities will not check the marriage status of tourists who visit Indonesia. So, couples who are not married should not be put off visiting the country.

Child marriage, defined as marriage before age 18, is associated with adverse human capital outcomes. The child marriage burden remains high among female adolescents in Indonesia, despite increasing socioeconomic development. Research on child marriage in Southeast Asia is scarce. No nationally representative studies thus far have examined determinants of child marriage in Indonesia through multivariate regression modeling.

We used data from the nationally representative 2012 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey and the Adolescent Reproductive Health Survey to estimate determinants of child marriage and marital preferences. We ran multivariate models to estimate the association between demographic and socioeconomic characteristics and the following early marriage outcomes: 1) ever been married or cohabited, 2) married or cohabited before 18 years, 3) married or cohabited before 16 years, 4) self-reported marital-age preferences and 5) attitudes approving female child marriage.

However, most countries, especially LMICs, have very little data on the prevalence of child marriage or of other traditional practices harmful to girls [12]. Even less information is available about their (context-specific) structural and behavioral determinants, although some evidence is emerging. Child marriage appears to be more common in LMICs in comparison to high-income countries [13]. Unequal gender norms may drive child marriage. For example, some researchers have found that countries and societies with high gender inequality (e.g. laws and customs that exclude girls from decision-making or economic and political rights) are more likely to feature high prevalence of child marriage [14]. Education is commonly found to be a protective factor, both globally as well as in in studies from South Asia, with child brides consistently having lower education levels than women married over the age of 18 [15, 16]. Minimum marriage age laws have been shown to protect against child marriage [17]. Finally, poverty and rural residence are found to increase the risk of child marriage in every region of the world [18]. However, it should be noted that most research to date on determinants of child marriage is associational and thus fails to establish a causal link between background factors and adverse child marriage outcomes.

Most empirical research on child marriage has focused on South Asian and African countries where a high percentage of females marry before age 18. In contrast, relatively little research on the topic has been conducted in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia, most studies are limited to a specific geographic area and little nationally representative data or analysis is available. What data exists point to a significant problem: an estimated 17% of Indonesian girls are married before the age of 18, according to the most recent national Demographic Health Survey (DHS) conducted in 2012 [19]. According to UNICEF, Indonesia ranks approximately in the middle for countries with available data on marriage before the age of 18 in East Asia and Pacific region, with Laos and Solomon Islands ranking the highest at 37% and 28.3%, respectively and Mongolia and Vietnam ranking the lowest at 6.2% and 12.3% respectively [20]. However, due to the large population, Indonesia has one of the highest burdens of child marriage in the region and contributes substantially to the overall global burden of child brides [20, 21]. Although trends are promising, with median age at first marriage increasing among ever-married women age 25 to 49 (from an estimated 17.7 years at first marriage in 1991 to 20.1 in 2012), levels are still unacceptably high. A 2016 report by the National Statistics Bureau and UNICEF Indonesia finds that using bivariate analysis, child marriage is associated with rural residence, poorer housing conditions and households with lower levels of expenditure; all categories associated with poverty [21]. However, insufficient analysis is available to explain the wide variance in child marriage rates across the country, including within districts and provinces.

In this paper, we analyze nationally representative data from Indonesia to examine structural factors predicting child marriage dynamics among a sample of women aged 20 to 24 to inform policy and programs. Understanding determinants of child marriage in Indonesia is of high relevance to the global understanding of child marriage dynamics as Indonesia contributes significantly to the regional and global burden of child marriage. Indonesia is perceived as a high-performing economy, however there are still significant challenges for women and children that prevent sustainable development for all its citizens. A multidimensional approach to understanding, and addressing, child marriage is needed. The analysis contributes to the literature in two main ways. First, to our knowledge, this is the first analysis of determinants of child marriage using a multivariate analysis of nationally representative, large-scale data. As Indonesia is a diverse nation, it is important from a policy perspective to situate the findings of smaller scale and regionally specific findings in a national context. Second, empirical analysis of marital preferences and attitudes are virtually nonexistent, but are thought to perpetuate child marriage dynamics at the societal level. Therefore, it is useful to understand what observable underlying factors are associated with preferences and harmful attitudes among unmarried young females. We conclude with a discussion of policy and program opportunities to reduce rates of child marriage as well as reflections on a research agenda to inform policy and programming efforts to end child marriage.

For the ARH sample, the average preferred age of marriage is 25.6 years (ranging from age 17 to age 50).Footnote 4 Approximately 5% of sample reported that in general, females should marry before the age of 18, indicating a relatively small percentage of the sample reported attitudes supporting child marriage. Most women had at least some secondary education (50% had some or completed secondary education, 38.4% had more than secondary education), 11.5% had some or completed primary education, and less than 1% had no education. Similar to the DHS sample, there were varying levels of exposure to media among unmarried females, with approximately 86% of females reporting they watch TV at least once a week, 31% listening to the radio, and 20% reading a newspaper or magazine. Approximately 42% of the sample resides in a rural area.

To help understand the variation in outcomes across Indonesia, we present a graphical depiction of indicators by province (Fig. 1). On the left most bar of Fig. 1, we present means for the full sample, followed by means for each province sorted from highest to lowest prevalence in terms of our lead indicator, child marriage (married before 18 years). The figure shows that prevalence of child marriage (solid gray bar) ranges from a high of 36% in Papua to a low of 6% in Yogyakarta. Eighteen regions have child marriage levels above 20% (or 1 in 5 females), with highest prevalence in Papua, West Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi and Central Kalimantan (all above 30%). Prevalence of marriage before the age of 16 (solid black bar) follow similar trends, with the highest being in Papua (18%), West Papua (15%), West Sulawesi (14%) and Jambi (13%). For many provinces, the prevalence of marriage before the age of 16 is low and nearly non-existent (Yogyakarta, Bali and Aceh, all under 2%). The prevalence of ever being married (shaded bar) range from 76% in Jambi to 35% in East Nusa Tenggara, and did not always follow the same trend as for the age-specific child marriage indicators. Moving to the attitudes supporting child marriage (white dot), provincial variation in reporting under 18 as a preferred age of marriage ranges from 15% in West Sulawesi to under 1% in Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Riau Islands. Finally, in contrast to some of the other indicators, there was relatively little variation in preferred age at marriage (black dot), fluctuating from 24 to 27 years. With the caveat that sample sizes were reduced when disaggregated by province, overall there appear to be important differences across geographic area in terms of outcomes.

The results of the mean difference tests (right most column, Table 4) showed that in three out of five cases, females who marry or cohabit before the age of 18 had more unequal marital outcomes as compared to their counterparts who marry or cohabit at or after age 18. In particular, 16% of early-married or cohabiting females had partners with no or incomplete primary education, as compared to 6% among females who marry or cohabit later. Particularly striking was the percentage of females in the former group with a greater-than-five-year age gap between partners (approximately 58%) versus that among females in the latter group (38%). However, there was no difference between the two groups in terms of partner being unemployed or not working and female decision-making power. This may be because the proportion of partners not working was very low on average ( ff782bc1db
