JAKARTA - Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI) Rita Pranawati suspected that Aisha Weddings' website violated Law Number 16 of 2019 concerning Amendments to Law 1 Number 1974 concerning Marriage.
This site offers services for organizing child weddings in the age range of 12 to 21 years.
"Aisha Wedding website, which offers child marriage, is clear on the Marriage Law, which provides a minimum limit for marriages over 19 years", Rita said when contacted by VOI, Wednesday, February 10.
According to Rita, Aisha Weddings also violated Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection and Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons (TPPO).
Said Rita, because the act of the wedding organizer to marry off minors was a violation of children's rights.
"On the site, there are pictures of children, then there is a statement of the child's marriage aged 12 to 21. That clearly violates children's rights", said Rita.
This is why KPAI reports the existence of this website to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police for legal proceedings. KPAI initially received reports of the emergence of the Aisha Weddings website from the public.
"That night we reported to The Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police to deepen allegations of violations of children's rights. But this is still a suspicion because there must be evidence. We are reporting, then Headquarters responds, it is still in the process of investigation. If there is, Bareskrim will notify the developments later", he explained.
Aisha Weddings became a mass conversation on Twitter. The wedding organizer (WO) was criticized for offering child marriage packages. Aisha Weddings is clearly in awe. But this misleading advertisement is actually a reminder of the problem of early marriage, including children, which after we opened the data today, to be honest, is very worrying.
In an advertisement on the official website, Aisha Weddings offers wedding packages for brides in the age range 12-21 years. "All Muslim women want to be devout and obedient to Allah SWT and her husband. To be please to Allah and your husband, you must be married at the age of 12-21 years and not more", reads the Aisha Weddings ad.
