REVITALISASI PERAN KUA DALAM PENCEGAHAN STUNTING MELALUI BIMBINGAN PERKAWINAN: STUDI KEBIJAKAN DI KUA LUMAJANG

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Stunting prevention is Indonesia's national priority in 2024, requiring cross-sector synergy, including the Ministry of Religious Affairs through the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA). This study aims to analyze the integration of Islamic family law and reproductive health materials in Marriage Guidance (Bimwin), the effectiveness of the Elsimil application as a marriage administration requirement, and Islamic legal analysis of pre-marital health tests. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a policy study approach at the KUA of Lumajang District. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that the integration of jurisprudence and health materials has been implemented but requires module strengthening. The Elsimil application is effective as a health filter for prospective couples following the principle of Saddud Dzari'ah to prevent hereditary damage. In terms of jurisprudence, pre-marital health tests are categorized as wajib (obligatory) to preserve hifz an-nasl. The study concludes that revitalizing the KUA's role through the Elsimil policy is a strategic solution harmonizing state law demands and maqashid syariah.
