Abstract

A person's capacity to act in law or to perform legal acts is determined by whether or not the person has reached legal adulthood. The aim is that the ability to work with a majority is unrelated, so the law's limit of "age of adulthood" has a significant role. A person's maturity is a benchmark in determining whether a person can or cannot be said to be capable of acting to perform a legal act. This research examines the legal certainty of the concept of maturity in the Marriage Law in Indonesia—this normative legal research with a philosophical, statutory, and conceptual approach. The technique of analyzing legal materials is survey, question, read, recite /recall, and review with deductive thinking. The study results show that the value of legal certainty regarding the minimum age limit for marriage will only implement partially (open to inconsistencies) because it is still possible to deviate from this limit by allowing marriage dispensation for prospective brides under age specified by law. If dispensation is to granting for specific reasons, there needs to be a follow-up to ensure the emotional maturity of the parties concerned. In addition, Indonesian marriage law only regulates maturity through age limits, so it is necessary to handle the concept of maturity from another perspective to ensure legal certainty.
