Abstract

The rise of early marriages in Indonesia causes the role of the family to be less than ideal. The role of the Regional Government in implementing policies in building family resilience requires legal instruments, in the form of regional regulations and the Family Resilience Development Policy implemented in line with national policies. Local governments have the authority to make Regional Regulations on family resilience. This research aims to study the effectiveness of the Regional Regulation on Family Resilience in reducing the early marriage rate in Indonesia, strengthening family resilience, and overcoming family problems. This research employs an empirical and comparative approach—the data obtained from the literature study and by interviewing sources and experts. We will analyze each regulation's effectiveness in regulating early marriages and family resilience from the data collected. We would also compare the regulations, finding each strength, weakness, problems, and challenges using Friedman's theory on legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Regional regulation on Family Resilience is a great breakthrough for overcoming family problems and strengthening family resilience. Yet, it needs to compromise with legal cultures and legal structures surrounding it. Furthermore, regional regulation needs to be more comprehensive and cover local people's needs and wants. Finally, more studies and research on this issue need to be conducted soon.
