Age of majority
Age of adulthood defined in law
Age of majority
The age of majority is the age defining legal adulthood. At majority, a minor becomes an adult, assuming legal control over their person, actions, and decisions, gaining new rights, and ending parental rights. 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.
