What is considered a minor in Japan?

This article explores the legal and social implications of being a minor in Japan. The legal definition of a minor is any person under the age of 20, which applies to all aspects of life in Japan including education, marriage, and other legal matters. Minors have limited legal rights compared to adults and are not allowed to enter into legally binding contracts without parental consent or engage in activities such as gambling or drinking alcohol. Parents have significant control over their children’s lives until they turn 20 years old, but must discipline them within reason. It is important for both parents and children alike to understand these implications so that everyone involved can make informed decisions.
