One of the positive effects is through education which has positive relationship with the age of first marriage especially for woman. The objective of this paper is to learn about role of education for woman in order to liberate woman of Banjarese tribe from Kawin Anom culture or early marriage. In this paper, the researcher used primer data analysis from sensus data her in dissertation research. The respondents of the research were women who have marriage for the first time at the age of 16-30 and have been living for about 5 years in the research area. They are those who both have legal marriage according to religious rule and goverment's rule applied in Indonesia. The variables are women having marriage at the age of 16-30 and education. From the results of the paper, education is found to be able to liberate woman from Kawin Anom culture which is still strong in the research area because of the reason that the women are still having their education or they want to study for higher education. These reasons help the women reach their right of education, as one of women's rights which has been neglected due to Kawin Anom or early marriage culture.
