The law prescribes certain ages at which persons shall be considered of sufficient maturity to discharge certain civil functions, to make contracts, and to dispose of property. Prior to those ages they are minors and are, on account of that disability, unable to exercise these rights as citizens unless such minor becomes emancipated by operation of law or pursuant to Article 10 of Chapter 11 of Title 15.Amended by 2013 Ga. Laws 127,§ 4-1, eff. 1/1/2014.Amended by 2006 Ga. Laws 466,§ 2, eff. 7/1/2006.
