Abstract:

 This study analyzes child exploitation in online unregistered marriages in Parepare City through the perspectives of Human Rights and Maqasid Sharia. The absence of legal recognition places children at risk of losing fundamental rights, including legal identity and protection. These practices contradict Human Rights principles and the Maqasid Sharia objective of protecting offspring (hifz al-nasl). The objectives of the study include: (1) identifying forms of exploitation experienced by children due to online unregistered marriage, (2) analyzing violations of children's rights from a human rights perspective, and (3) evaluating this practice from the perspective of Maqasid Syariah. The study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, involving document studies, interviews, and data analysis. The results of the study are; First, the exploitation experienced by children encompasses economic, social, psychological, and administrative dimensions due to the lack of state legal protection for online unregistered marriages. Second, online unregistered marriages constitute a structural human rights violation because they place children in a situation without state protection for their basic rights. Third, the practice of online unregistered marriages results in significant harm to children, thus contradicting the objectives of sharia, which prioritizes the well-being of humanity.
