Abstract-Early marriage or underage marriage is indeed a serious problem in Indonesia, and the Covid-19 pandemic seems to have become that situation. Data from the Marriage Dispensation Application Tracking Information System at the Banyumas Religious Court shows that there has been an increase in marriage dispensation applications since the year before Covid-19 until the pandemic era. Several factors can lead to an increase in the number of early marriages in the Covid-19 era, including: Economic factors: The Covid-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on the community's economy, especially for families who are in low economic conditions. In this difficult situation, parents may tend to marry off their children to partners who are more financially affluent, hoping to improve their family's economic situation. Unfortunately, the aspect of age is often overlooked in these considerations. Low education or knowledge: Lack of formal education or knowledge about the importance of education, children's rights, and the negative impact of early marriage can be a contributing factor. Children and parents who do not fully understand the consequences of early marriage may be more prone to being swayed by social pressures or economic reasons. Early marriage has a serious impact on the children involved. Children who marry too young are more vulnerable to physical and mental health risks, increased poverty, lack of education, and violations of their rights. Therefore, efforts to overcome early marriage must be a priority. Based on the data, there was an increase in the number of requests for dispensation for marriage during the Covid-19 era compared to the previous year. In the Covid-19 era (2020-2021), the distribution of the frequency of early marriages submitted for marriage dispensation increased to more than 10%Keywords: Data Analysis, Early Marriage Rate, Covid 19 Era, Frequency Distribution]]>
