Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of premarital counseling conducted by marriage registrars (penghulu) on the divorce rate in Medan Marelan District. The study was motivated by the increasing dynamics of marriage and the rising number of divorce cases in the district during the 2020–2024 period. A quantitative descriptive approach with a survey method was employed. The research involved 60 respondents, determined using the Slovin formula, and was supported by interview and documentation data obtained from the Office of Religious Affairs (Kantor Urusan Agama—KUA) of Medan Marelan District. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques and supported by simple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that premarital counseling has a positive influence on improving couples' mental preparedness, understanding of marital rights and obligations, communication skills, and conflict management within the family. Although the overall divorce rate remained relatively low, ranging from 1.27% to 2.53%, empirical evidence revealed an increase in divorce cases during 2023–2024, primarily due to economic hardship, emotional unpreparedness, ineffective communication, and the lack of sustainable post-marital guidance. This study concludes that premarital counseling provided by penghulu contributes significantly to strengthening family resilience and reducing the risk of divorce.
