Definition: The age of majority is the age at which you are considered an adult and responsible for your actions in the legal sense.
Reaching the age of majority doesn't necessarily mean you can drink alcohol, vote, gamble, etc. The age of majority varies from state to state in the United States, and in other countries. Most locales place the age of majority at 18 or 19.
The age of reason is different from the age of majority. It is believed by many experts that the age of reason comes about the age of 25 and that couples should wait until they are at least 25 years old before they marry.
