Foto : Khalid - Hala Pertunangan merupakan bagian dari sebuah peristiwa sakral yang menyatukan dua orang dalam satu ikatan, sebelum menikah. Tapi, bagaimana jika pertunangan itu melibatkan dua bocah yang masih berusia lima dan tiga tahun?
Ini bukan dongeng atau cerita belaka namun kejadian ini nyata menimpa dua bocah di Suriah. Pertunangan antara anak laki-laki bernama Khalid yang masih berusia 5 tahun dengan Hala yang masih berusia 3 tahun berlangsung atas persetujuan kedua orangtua mereka.
Juma, ayah Khalid, mengatakan, pertunangan itu digelar atas permintaan Khalid dan Hala. Walau sudah bertunangan, mereka baru diperkenankan menikah sekitar 10 tahun mendatang.
"Kami tahu Khalid atau Hala mungkin berubah pikiran di masa depan, tapi pada tahap ini (tunangan) mereka sangat senang dan berbicara satu sama lain setiap hari," kata Juma, seperti dikutip dari laman Gulf News. “Khalid sendiri menunggu sampai ia berusia 15 tahun untuk menikahi Hala."
Khalid bertemu Hala saat tengah berlibur bersama orangtuanya di Lattakia, kawasan pantai Mediterania Suriah. Ia merasa jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Ia tak berhenti memikirkan Hala sepulang berlibur.
Di rumahnya di Homs, kota yang berjarak sekitar 100 kilometer utara Damaskus, ia selalu bermimpi dan menginginkan Hala bersamanya. "Khalid mengatakan kepada saya dan ibunya bahwa dia ingin tinggal dengan Hala dan membawa pulang ke Homs,” kata Juma.
Orangtua menanggapi ini dengan serius. Lalu, mereka menelepon ibu Hala untuk meminta pendapat. "Orangtua Hala berkata bahwa anaknya punya sikap serupa, merasa kesepian. Keluarga Hala sangat senang bila melihat mereka (Khalid dan Hala) bersama," ujar Juma.
Setelah itu, keluarga Khalid kembali ke Lattakia untuk melaksanakan upacara. Khalid adalah seorang anak tunggal. Ia baru lahir setelah orang tuanya menikah selama 20 tahun.
Pesta pertunangan kedua bocah diusia taman kanak-kanak ini disiapkan dengan sempurna oleh kedua orangtua masing-masing. Selain mengatur prosesi pertunangan, mereka juga membeli sepasang cincin layaknya pertunangan orang dewasa.
Pernikahan anak di bawah umur selama ini dikecam kelompok hak asasi manusia internasional. Bahkan, PBB telah mengeluarkan rekomendasi kepada setiap negara untuk mengadopsi aturan pernikahan, yakni minimal usia 18 tahun, baik pria dan wanita. (sj)

The engagement is part of a sacred event that brings together two people in a single bond, before marriage. But, what if the engagement involving two boys who were aged five and three years?
This is not a mere fairy tale or a story but a real incident happened to two boys in Syria. Engagements between a boy named Khalid who were aged 5 years with Hala who were aged 3 years progress on their parents' consent.
Juma, Khalid's father, said the engagement was held at the request of Khalid and Hala. Despite being engaged, they were just allowed to get married about 10 years.
"We know Hala Khalid or maybe change your mind in the future, but at this stage (fiance), they were very pleased and spoke to one another every day," Juma said, as quoted by Gulf News page. "Khalid himself waited until he was 15 years old to marry Hala."
Hala Khalid met while on holiday with her parents in Lattakia, Syria's Mediterranean coast region. He fell in love at first sight. He could not stop thinking about Hala after vacation.
At his home in Homs, a city which is about 100 kilometers north of Damascus, he was always dreaming and wanted Hala with him. "Khalid told me and his mother that he wanted to stay with Hala and bring back to Homs," said Juma.
Parents take this seriously. Then, they called to ask my mother Hala. "Hala's parents said that her son had a similar attitude, feeling lonely. Family Hala very pleased when to see them (Khalid and Hala) together," said Juma.
After that, the family Khalid returned to Lattakia to perform the ceremony. Khalid was an only child. He was born after his parents were married for 20 years.
The second engagement party boy at the age of kindergarten is prepared to perfection by both parents respectively. In addition to organizing the procession of engagement, they also bought a pair of engagement rings as adults.
Marriage of minors has been criticized international human rights groups. In fact, the UN has issued recommendations to each country to adopt the rules of marriage, ie a minimum age of 18 years, both men and women. (Sj)
