Legal Age

Legal age refers to the minimum age at which an individual is recognized by law as having the capacity to perform certain actions, such as voting, drinking alcohol, entering into contracts, or getting married. This age varies by country and context, reflecting societal norms and values. For example, in many places, the legal age for drinking alcohol is 21, while for voting, it is often 18. The legal age aims to protect young individuals by ensuring they possess a certain level of maturity and responsibility when making significant decisions or engaging in specific activities.
