recognized or declared in <a href="/wiki/Law" title="Law">law</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> It is the moment when a person ceases to be considered a <a href="/wiki/Minor_(law)" title="Minor (law)">minor</a>, and assumes legal control over their person, actions, and decisions, thus terminating the control and legal responsibilities of their parents or guardian over them. Most countries set the age of majority at 18, but some jurisdictions have a higher age and others lower. The word majority here refers to having greater years and being of full age as opposed to minority, the state of being a minor. The law in a given jurisdiction may not actually use the term "age of majority". The term refers to a collection of laws bestowing the status of adulthood. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Explanation">Explanation</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Age_of_majority&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Explanation">edit</a>]</div> The term age of majority can be confused with the similar concept of the age of license,<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>. As a legal term, "license" means "permission", referring to a legally enforceable right or privilege. Thus, an age of license is an age at which one has legal permission from a given government to participate in certain activities or rituals. The age of majority, on the other hand, is a legal recognition that one has become an adult. Many ages of license coincide with the age of majority to recognize the transition to legal adulthood, but they are nonetheless legally distinct concepts. One need not have attained the age of majority to have permission to exercise certain rights and responsibilities. Some ages of license may be higher, lower, or match the age of majority. For example, to purchase <a href="/wiki/Alcoholic_drink" class="mw-redirect" title="Alcoholic drink">alcoholic beverages</a>, the age of license is 21 in all U.S. states. Another example is the voting age, which prior to 1971 was 21 in the US, as was the age of majority in all or most states. After the voting age was lowered from 21 to 18, the age of majority was lowered to 18 in most states. In most US states, one may obtain a driver's license, consent to sexual activity, and gain full-time employment at age 16 even though the age of majority is 18 in most states.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In the Republic of Ireland the age of majority is 18, but one must be 21 or over to stand for election to the Houses of the <a href="/wiki/Oireachtas" title="Oireachtas">Oireachtas</a>.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> Also, in Portugal the age of majority is 18, and citizens who have reached that age are also eligible to run for Parliament,<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> but they need to be 35 or over in order to run for President.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> A child who is legally <a href="/wiki/Emancipation_of_minors" title="Emancipation of minors">emancipated</a> by a court of competent jurisdiction automatically attains to their maturity upon the signing of the court order. Only emancipation confers the status of maturity before a person has actually reached the age of majority. In almost all places, minors who marry are automatically emancipated. Some places also do the same for minors who are in the armed forces or who have a certain degree or diploma.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Minors who are emancipated may be able to choose where they live, sign contracts, and have control over their financial and medical decisions and generally make decisions free from parental control but are not exempt from age requirements set forth in law for other rights. For example, a minor can emancipate at 16 in the US (or younger depending on the state) but must still wait until 18 to vote or buy a firearm, and 21 to buy alcohol or tobacco. The Jewish Talmud says that every judgment <a href="/wiki/Josiah" title="Josiah">Josiah</a>, the sixteenth king of Judah (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 640–609 BCE), issued from his coronation until the age of eighteen was reversed and he returned the money to the parties whom he judged liable, due to concern that in his youth he may not have judged the cases correctly.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Other Jewish commentators have discussed whether age 13 or 18 is the age to make decisions in a <a href="/wiki/Beth_din" title="Beth din">Jewish Court</a>.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> Roman law did not have an age of majority in the modern sense, as individuals remained under the authority of the <a href="/wiki/Pater_familias" title="Pater familias">Pater familias</a> until his death. The <a href="/wiki/Childhood_in_ancient_Rome" title="Childhood in ancient Rome">age of adulthood</a> was set at 12 for girls and 14 for boys, with boys gaining rights such as marriage, military service, and any legal capacity that depended on age only, including, until the introduction of the Lex Villia, the ability to be eligible for public office.<a href="#cite_note-William_Smith2-10">[10]</a> The Lex Plaetoria allowed those under 25 to contest disadvantageous agreements in case of fraud, later extending to other circumstances, and the other party might escape repercussions only if a curator was involved. To enter a contract, individuals in this age group could request the praetor for such a curator, thus ensuring protection for both sides: this shielded the other contracting party from legal risk and allowed transactions to proceed, as no prudent person would engage without this safeguard. Unlike with a tutor, the requester retained full legal capacity to act, and the role of the curator was merely to prevent fraud. Later, under Marcus Aurelius, their appointment became mandatory. Someone under 25 who wanted to enter a contract had to request a curator, and could propose a candidate, which the praetor could reject. The curator's control over property became closer to that of a tutor, but it was only applied to the properties that the praetor assigned to him, not those acquired by the requester after his appointment.<a href="#cite_note-William_Smith2-10">[10]</a> Over time, there was a gradual evolution, initially focusing on property laws (while other legal matters, such as marriage and wills, continued to have separate age thresholds), eventually arriving at the modern concept of age of majority, commonly set at 18. Since 2015, some countries have lowered the voting age to 16.<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a><a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> Some countries, like <a href="/wiki/England_and_Wales" title="England and Wales">England and Wales</a>, are even considering lowering the age of majority to 16,<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> similar to how it already is in <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuba</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Cuba-14">[14]</a> The main argument for lowering is that, on average, young people are much more educated (both because of better individual educational outcomes and being raised by more educated parents) than in the past (the same argument was made in the 1970s when most countries lowered the age of majority from 21 to 18, which remains the age used for most countries, including the United States).<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> Related to newer generations being more educated and being ready for life earlier: compared to the past, information is much more <a href="/wiki/Democratization_of_knowledge" title="Democratization of knowledge">easily accessible</a> as a result of the spread of the <a href="/wiki/Internet" title="Internet">Internet</a>, which can be accessed through both the <a href="/wiki/Personal_computer" title="Personal computer">personal computer</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Smartphone" title="Smartphone">smartphone</a>.

least for ritual purposes: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Islam" title="Islam">Islam</a>: Different Islamic <a href="/wiki/Fiqh" title="Fiqh">fiqh</a> schools have different criteria for adulthood. In general, males are considered adults when they have manifested specific physical attributes such as <a href="/wiki/Nocturnal_emission" title="Nocturnal emission">nocturnal emission</a> and growth of pubic hair. Females are considered adults when they manifest physical attributes such as <a href="/wiki/Menstruation" title="Menstruation">menstruation</a>, growth of pubic hair, and nocturnal emission. However, in the absence of these physical attributes in either male or female, different schools of fiqh have different rulings on the age limit after which the male or female are considered adults even if they do not manifest any of the physical attributes earlier mentioned. Some schools rule based on the limit being 18 years for both males and females, some 18 for males and 17 for females, and some 15 for both. There is also a distinction in Islamic law between the state of adulthood and the ability to have sexual intercourse.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Judaism" title="Judaism">Judaism</a>: The age of majority is 13 years for boys (<a href="/wiki/Bar_mitzvah" class="mw-redirect" title="Bar mitzvah">bar mitzvah</a>) and 12 years for girls (<a href="/wiki/Bat_mitzvah" class="mw-redirect" title="Bat mitzvah">bat mitzvah</a>) for religious purposes.<a href="#cite_note-147">[129]</a> However, Jewish law follows (according to some interpretations) the law of the land if there is a difference, such as in marriage age.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christianity</a> (only the <a href="/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" class="mw-redirect" title="Roman Catholic Church">Roman Catholic Church</a>): 18 years.<a href="#cite_note-148">[130]</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%CA%BC%C3%AD_Faith" title="Baháʼí Faith">Baháʼí Faith</a>: The spiritual age of maturity for every person born into a Baháʼí family is 15.

At this age, Baháʼís are considered youth (as opposed to children before 15). Baháʼí youth are 15–21 years old. Once a Baháʼí turns 15, if they declare themselves a Baháʼí, they are expected to recite a daily obligatory prayer and participate in the fast.<a href="#cite_note-149">[131]</a> Baha'is can vote in
