Most Indonesian women marry between the ages of 19 and 24. However, 11.21 percent of women marry before the age of 15. Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that 44 percent of Indonesian women marry between the ages of 19 and 24. Furthermore, 23.03 percent marry at ages 17-18, and 13.07 percent marry over the age of 25.
In Indonesia, the Marriage Law stipulates that the minimum marriage age for women is 16 and for men is 19. However, in 2014, the Indonesian Women's Health Foundation and the Child Rights Monitoring Foundation filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court to raise the minimum marriage age for women to 18. This lawsuit was rejected in June 2015 on the grounds that raising the minimum marriage age does not guarantee a reduction in divorce rates, improve health outcomes, or solve social problems.
