<P> A girl is considered an adult at the age of nine - to - twelve, while a boy is considered an adult at twelve - to - fifteen years old . The evidence for this is the narration of Ibn Umar that he said: "Allah's Apostle called me to present myself in front of him on the eve of the battle of Uhud, while I was fourteen years of age at that time and he did not allow me to take part in that battle but he called me in front of him on the eve of the battle of the Trench when I was fifteen years old, and he allowed me to join the battle ." (Reported by Bukhari and Muslim). When Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz heard this Hadith he made this age the evidence to differentiate between a mature and an immature person . </P> <P> In the Jewish faith, boys reach religious maturity at the age of thirteen and become a bar mitzvah ("bar mitzvah" means "son of the commandment" literally, and "subject to commandments" figuratively). Girls mature a year earlier, and become a bat mitzvah ("bat mitzvah" means "daughter of the commandment") at twelve . The new men and women are looked upon as adults and are expected to uphold the Jewish commandments and laws . Also, in religious court they are adults and can marry with their new title of an adult . Nonetheless in the Talmud; Pirkei Avot (5: 25), Rabbi Yehuda ben Teime gives the age of 18 as the appropriate age to get married . At the end of the bar or bat mitzvah, the boy or girl is showered with candies, which act as "sweet blessings ." Besides the actual ceremony, there usually is a bar or bat mitzvah party . </P> <P> In the Romani religion, when boys come of age of 20, they become Shave, and girls become Sheya . Boys are then taught to drive and work in their family's line of trade, while girls are taught the women's line of work . </P> <P> In the Shinto faith, boys were taken to the shrine of their patron deity at approximately 12 - 14 years old . They were then given adult clothes and a new haircut . This was called Genpuku . </P>
