Abstrak

Pernikahan muda masih terjadi di Indonesia. Sekitar 0,2% (22.000) remaja 10-14 tahun menikah. Padahal, UU Perkawinan Republik Indonesia tentang persyaratan usia adalah 19 tahun untuk pria dan 16 tahun untuk wanita. Dua hal untuk kehamilan yang tak terduga adalah mempertahankan atau mengakhiri kehamilan oleh remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan perilaku remaja dan kehamilan remaja di Desa Limakoli, Kabupaten Rote Ndao. Studi ini adalah etnografi eksploratif. Informan dipilih secara snowball sampling. Data dianalisis dengan analisis tematik. Remaja perempuan biasanya melakukan pekerjaan rumah. Sementara, remaja laki-laki berolahraga di sore hari. Remaja memperoleh pengetahuan dan informasi tentang kesehatan reproduksi, tetapi diskusi tentang kehamilan dan risikonya terbatas. Remaja yang hamil menghadapi gosip dan stigma sosial. Seorang remaja hamil menghadapi kemarahan orang tua dan keluarganya, mengalami aborsi, menjadi pendiam, dan putus sekolah. Remaja lainnya menutupi kehamilannya yang kedua, walaupun kemungkinan orang tuanya menerima kehamilannya. Kehamilan remaja cenderung tidak mendapat antenatal care. Perkawinan tradisional 'Terang Kampung' tidak dilakukan oleh anak-anak di bawah umur, kemungkinan karena melibatkan keluarga dan keluarga besar. Remaja yang hamil mengalami drop out dari sekolah, sebaliknya remaja laki-laki tidak. Remaja perempuan memiliki dampak paling besar pada kehamilan remaja terhadap risiko fisik, psikologis, dan sosial. Sehingga perlu dikembangkan, intervensi sosiokultural integratif untuk berpacaran tanpa hubungan seksual, tidak ada kehamilan remaja dan pernikahan, dengan melibatkan sekolah, gereja, pusat kesehatan primer, pemimpin tradisional, staf desa.
