Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that the majority of Indonesian young people are unmarried. This proportion amounts to 68.29% of the total youth population in March 2023.

Meanwhile, 30.61% of young people are married, and 1.10% are either widowed or divorced.

By region, the highest percentage of unmarried young people is found in DKI Jakarta, at 80% in 2023.

Next is Aceh, with a proportion of unmarried youth at 75.94%, followed by North Sumatra at 75.43%.

The BPS considers the change in law regarding the minimum age of marriage as one of the reasons for the high number of unmarried young people in Indonesia.

Referring to Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the minimum age of marriage is set at 19 years for both men and women.
