This research used a qualitative method was chosen in this study with a literature study approach to see the influence of the Indonesian movement anti-dating on early marriage through research analysis that had been carried out by previous researchers and then explained in a narrative. Based on the results of GITP's research, it is very influential and useful to be an agent of change in instilling noble characters or morals in young Muslims. This organization influences early marriage with the Indonesian movement without dating. The aim of this movement is very positive so that young people can avoid adultery, but the understanding of the preachers and congregations who are still not in this movement makes the practice of early marriage even more prevalent.
