Women and Nature: An Ecofeminism Study on The Practice of Kawin Gantung in Jrakah Village,Boyolali

Early marriage in Indonesia is still a phenomenon that hassignificant attention. Even though there have been changes in the rules of marriage regulations in Indonesia which make the requirements for marriage more rigid regarding the minimum age of marrying, early marriage still hasa way to exist. It is maintained because marrying is seen as a way out of poverty. The case study in Boyolali District, Jrakah Village, shows a different variant of early marriage called "kawin gantung", how relationships are tied from a very young age to secure wealth in the future. From the research results, the urgency to have financial security from an early period was born because Jrakah Village is classified as an area with potential natural disasters (close to Mount Merapi). On the other hand, the issue of climate change is another factor in why early marriages are perpetuated because some of the people of Jrakah Village are dependent on tobacco products, whose harvest season is now increasingly unpredictable. In short, this research then provides a different picture of the Anthropocene era: not only environmental issuesthat are affected but also women's agencyand the authority's right to control their lives.
