Abstract

Malang District has the highest number of child marriage cases in East Java Province. This can be seen in the data for submitting marriage dispensations in 2022, which reached 1,386 applicants. Child marriage in Malang Regency is caused by cultural and economic factors, and the influence of technological advances. This article is the result of research that tries to explain how collaborative governance is built into efforts to handle marriage problems among children. Data search techniques are used with interviews and documentation. By using collaborative governance theory, this research produced several findings, namely: first, collaborative governance has been formed through the signing of a cooperation document between the Malang Regency Religious Court and the Malang Regency Ministry of Religion Office, Health Service, Personnel, and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM), Office of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (DP3A), and Office of Population Control and Family Planning (DPPKB). Second, prevention efforts are carried out through education and outreach, advocacy, and counseling. Third, institutional design has not been well formed among the stakeholders involved. Fourth, each agency tends to focus on its own programs, and not many programs are run jointly, so obstacles are often encountered, such as a shortage of human resources and budget shortages. Fifth, there has not been any facilitative leadership capable of collaborating on various existing programs in each agency.
