Minimum legal age in Romania

As in most other countries, minimum ages apply in Romania for various activities involving minors.

General

The following minimum legal ages apply in Romania:

Minors

Under Romanian law, minors are persons under 18.[1] Nevertheless, civil law differentiates between minors under 14, who are completely devoid of legal capacity,[2] and minors age 14-17, who have a limited form of legal capacity.[3] Emancipation of minors under the law occurs either through marriage[4] or by court order, if there are strong reasons, from age 16.[5]

Marriageable age

The marriageable age is defined in Art 272 of the Civil Code of Romania. This article sets a minimum age of marriage of 18, which can, in special circumstances, be lowered to 16.[6] The marriageable age is the same for boys and girls, as Law nr. 288/2007 equalized the marriageable age of the sexes.[7] [8]

Minors and religious freedom

Minors can choose their own religion from age 14. (Art. 491, 2)[9] Minors under 14 are guided religiously by their parents, however they can not be forcefully made to follow a religion.(Art. 491, 1)[9]

Employment

Minors can work from age 15. Minors aged 15 need their parents' consent, while those aged 16-17 do not need their parents' consent. There are, however, restrictions on the type of jobs that minors under 18 can practice. (Art 13 of the Labour Code).[10]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: <@102038103463567360> I think I would go with Bezoi.
gollark: Of course it needs multiple Jeff Bezoi. I really don't see why anyone would be against the idea.
gollark: I'd like to just entirely drop os.loadAPI in potatOS, since it makes for a ton of flaky potatoBIOS code, but I think shell would break.
