The Dynamics of Adolescent Relationships and the Disintegration of Moral Regulation
A Study on Teenage Pregnancy in Paremono, Magelang
Keywords:
Teenage pregnancy, religious moral regulation, social control, cognitive dissonance, Paremono VillageAbstract
Unplanned pregnancies among teenagers are often perceived merely as a lapse in individual
self-discipline. Nevertheless, in Paremono Village, located in Magelang Regency, a community
that upholds strong Islamic values, this issue reveals a sociological contradiction. This research
seeks to understand why the moral regulations associated with religion fail in deterring risky
sexual activities among young people. Employing a qualitative case study method, data were
gathered through comprehensive interviews with 20 participants: 10 adolescent girls who are
pregnant, 5 parents, and 5 religious leaders. The study's results indicate a breakdown in
informal social control structures. Cultural and religious stigmas surrounding sexuality create
obstacles to communication within families, resulting in a “reproduction of ignorance.”
Consequently, adolescents experience cognitive dissonance: they have theological awareness
about what constitutes “sin,” yet lack meaningful moral support to withstand external
pressures. Viewed through the framework of Social Learning Theory, the absence of parental
and religious guidance is compensated for by peer groups that normalize a liberal dating
environment and digital pornography. This research concludes that an abundance of religious
symbols does not guarantee moral internalization without engaging in and facilitating open
educational discussions. This study suggests enhancing the involvement of religious leaders to
reduce the stigma surrounding reproductive health education and to transition the teaching
approach from a rigid to a more conversational style.
