How old is the newly revised law on the protection of minors?

According to the Civil Law and the Law on the Protection of Minors, natural persons under the age of 18 are still regarded as minors. The legal significance of distinguishing adults from minors in civil law mainly includes the following aspects: 1 is to judge the effectiveness of civil legal acts. Adults can carry out civil legal acts independently, while minors can only carry out some civil legal acts independently. The implementation of other civil juristic acts requires the consent or ratification of the legal representative. The second is to determine the rights and obligations in marriage and family relations. The third is to set up guardianship. In order to protect the personal, property rights and other legitimate rights and interests of minors, guardians shall be established for minors. Parents are the first legal guardians of minors. If a minor's parents are dead or have no guardianship, other persons with guardianship shall serve as guardians according to law. At the same time, the Civil Code defines the age of adults as 18 years old. This is also in line with the relevant provisions of our Constitution. The Constitution of China gives citizens who have reached the age of 18 the right to vote and stand for election, which is an important political right.
