Marriage readiness plays an important role in determining the quality and stability of future marital relationships. This study aimed to examine the relationship between father involvement and marriage readiness among young adult prospective grooms. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used. A total of 127 prospective grooms from five sub-districts in South Jakarta were selected through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were collected using three instruments: a demographic questionnaire, the Reported Father Involvement Scale (RFIS), and the Criteria for Marriage Readiness Questionnaire (CMRQ). The Spearman correlation test showed a significant positive relationship between father involvement and marriage readiness (p < 0.05). These findings emphasize the important role of fathers in shaping marriage readiness among young adult men and support the development of premarital education and counseling programs that strengthen the role of the family, particularly the father, in preparing individuals for marriage.
