  • The age of majority is the age at which an individual is legally considered to be an adult rather than a minor.

The age of majority is the age when a child becomes an adult under the laws of that country. The age of majority may differ within a country for when a child becomes an adult regarding criminal charges and when a child can get married or obtain other rights of an adult.
