Abstract

This research is motivated by the fact that although there has been a change in Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage to Law Number 16 of 2019, Article 7 paragraph (1) was carried out to minimize child marriage as a form of gender equality. However, in fact the phenomenon of marriage dispensation is actually increasing. This research aims to describe men's efforts to realize the repositioning of masculinity and strategies for realizing gender equality in child marriage families so that gender inequality does not occur. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to obtain primary and secondary data. The results of the research show that there are still many people in Sucopangepok Village who practice child marriage. Factors that influence the practice of child marriage include customs, economics, parents and education. The fair distribution of roles in the household between men and women influences society's perception of gender roles, thereby positioning women to always be in the domestic sector. Society is also still influenced by patriarchal norms where men are more dominant in decision making, but some men are starting to support gender equality by providing space for women to be involved in a fair division of household work without discrimination or violence.
