Abstract

Child marriage is a serious issue that occurs in many countries, including Indonesia. Combating harmful child marriages is a target of the Indonesian government articulated in the SDGs 2030 and RPJMN 2020-2024. One of the provinces with a very high number of child marriages is Southeast Sulawesi Province. For 5 consecutive years (2017-2021), the rate of child marriages has consistently been higher than the national average. In fact, in 2018, it was ranked third in the country. The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between the level of education of the head of household and the decision to marry underage girls. The data used is SUSENAS in March 2022. From the descriptive analysis, it was found that 49.00% of the heads of households who married their underage daughters had elementary school education or lower, 44.07% had secondary education, and 6.3% had tertiary education. This indicates that the majority of heads of households who marry their underage daughters have elementary school education or lower. This also shows that education can influence the decision of heads of households to engage in child marriage, where the higher the education level of the head of household, the lower the likelihood of child marriage.
