BIMBINGAN PRA NIKAH TERHADAP PERNIKAHAN DINI DALAM MEWUJUDKAN KELUARGA SAKINAH DI KUA JOGOROTO JOMBANG TAHUN 2022-2023

Abstract

This research seeks to analyze the extent to which premarital counseling influences early-age marriages as part of an effort to establish a harmonious family. The study utilizes a qualitative approach by gathering primary data through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the Head of the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and Islamic Religious Counselors.

The findings of this research indicate that premarital counseling at KUA Jogoroto covers essential topics such as the Marriage Law, family roles, and values of a harmonious household. The impact of this counseling goes beyond providing an understanding of the rights and obligations of spouses; it also instills spiritual, social, and emotional values. The program helps prospective couples understand the meaning of marriage as a form of worship and emphasizes the importance of communication and conflict management. In addition to supporting factors such as cooperation with other institutions, this study also identifies obstacles, such as a lack of counselors and inadequate facilities, which must be addressed to improve the effectiveness of the counseling program
