UNDERAGE MARRIAGE
By: Fatimah Isyti Karimah
            What do you think about underage marriage? Underage marriage is a condition where someone gets married below the age that is determined by the law of Indonesia, that men have to be 21 years old to get married and women have to be 21 years old to get married. Although some people think that underage marriage is bad for people, I believe there are some advantages of underage marriage.
            The first benefit of underage marriage is decrease free sex. We know that human is given feeling to love another person and some people use his love in a bad way like free sex.  Marriage can make people do anything with his partner, so they do not do immoral acts. Besides that, the result of the research of National Marriage Projects’s 2013 at United State’s of American says that a person who gets married has a happy life.

            Another benefit of underage marriage is make it easy to get successful early. It means, a person can reach his success faster than before. Young age is the time to reach a hope. If we get married at that time, we still have spirit to reach our hope. Besides that, human needs someone to support his success, like having a partner. For example like Arifin Ilham’s son, Alvin who gets underage married at the age of 17. Alfin can be successful early because his wife supports him every time. Besides that, if we have a partner, we can arrange our plan. It is because our age is still productive to develop our ability and we can work harder than before. And in next period of life, we will enjoy our success and happiness.
            Many people think that underage marriage can give negative influences like a man is not ready financially and woman is not ready in her psychology. A person who gets married, usually he does not have enough readiness to face the next life.  Not rarely a couple argues because of financial problem. Usually this matter will be experienced by a person who gets married at very young age, especially men. However, such an argument completely ignores the fact that many underage marriages are successful like Alvin and other persons who gets underage marriage. Alvin says “the underage marriage is one way to avoid immoral acts.”
            In conclusion, it should be clear that the arguments against underage marriage is not based on the truth. On the contrary, many people who get married below the age get many advantages that can support their life, like they can get successful early and they can enjoy their old period. In my opinion, marriage is a person’s choice. If a person chooses to get married, it means he has thought about it completely and it is impossible that a person does anything without thinking first.
