Rasminah, the Last Victim

Nurul, 14, is a model student who values studying above all else. But with only her mother Ida earning for the family, sustaining her education is uncertain. Even with the amended Marriage Law, marrying Nurul off to someone who can pay for her schooling has already crossed Ida's mind.

Marriage dispensation, a forged pregnancy certificate, and a quick decision by the religious court. These sealed the fate of Neng, who was allowed to marry at 15 due to loopholes in the amended Marriage Law.

The Constitutional Court ultimately ruled that the minimum marrying age for Indonesian girls be amended. Listen to Rasminah and Anggi, her lawyer, as they lobby the government to see the decision through, and take pride in the legacy they leave behind for their daughters.

Twenty years since she was first married as a child, Rasminah decided to challenge the system, even though the road to justice would not be easy. Hear how Rasminah and other survivors of child marriage worked with the 18+ Coalition to bring Indonesia's 1974 Marriage Law before the Constitutional Court.

To ease her family’s burden from poverty, Rasminah was forced to marry her first husband at 13. After the marriage failed, she was wed two more times before turning 18. Listen to Rasminah as she recounts her ordeal, her new life with her fourth husband, and how she joined the fight to end child marriage in Indonesia.

Like many Indonesian girls, Sanita was betrothed at an early age. But she refused to be tied down... and her parents listened. Find her story of hope and determination on Rasminah, the Last Victim. The first episode premieres on October 2.
