treaty drafted by the United Nations and issued by its member

children throughout the world. Therefore, the Convention on
the Rights of the Child opposes any treatment that violates the
rights of the child, one of the things that violates the right of
the child to be focused in this paper is child marriage. As a
form of approval of international treaties, Indonesia ratified
the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Then transform it
into the law applicable in the jurisdiction of Indonesia. To
guarantee the rights of children, the government changed the
Convention on the Rights of the Child into Undang-Undang
Tentang Perlindungan Anak, then the law became a reference
for other derivative rules to handle child rights abuses,
including child marriages. The marriage of children in
Gunungkidul District, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta Province
became one of the areas with high amount of child marriage,
but the amount keeps deacreasing after the policies related to
child marriage are published by the Government of
Gunungkidul District.
