Abstrak
The Qur'an and hadits have regulated all the ins and outs of the lives of Muslims, including marital problems. Among the things that are regulated in Islam about marriage are the terms of marriage, and one of them is the prospective bride has been baligh. The problem of baligh of person is biologically different in time or age. Therefore, classical scholars did not set a marriage age limit, but in Indonesia marriage age is regulated, which is stated in Law No.1 of 1974 that marriage is only permitted if the male has reached the age of 19 and the woman has reached the age of 16. These provisions cause controversy, because the Qur'an and the hadith do not mention it, only specifying signs. While in the books of fiqh generally only recognize baligh as one of the terms of marriage, which is characterized by the presence of ihtilam for men and menstruation for women.
