سن الرشد في حقوق إيران و مصر

Abstract EN

Growth is a psychological quality in men that warns them against the wasting of their property at the same time that it encourages them to spend their money in logical, acceptable ways.

Growth should be fundamentally distinguished from maturity which refers to physical evolution and sexual maturity.

When an individual enjoys maturity, growth and the power to reason, he will have authority to manage his property.

But if he lacks one of the above, he will be considered as incapable and will have no authority or right to deal independently with other people.

In spite of the fact that growth and maturity are defined in totally different terms in Imamiyeh jurisprudence which is the most important source of legislation in Iran, in 1982 Iran civil laws Reformation enacted under the fake coverage of religious legalization, growth prefunction was wiped out of civil laws to appear later at the head of act 1210 as a concept undistinguishable from maturity That has led to numerous problems both for clients and courts of justice.

Lack of growth prefunction can hardly be compensated for by doctrinal interpretation, demanding the legislators to revive the 1209 and 1210 civil law acts according to which age 18 is a necessary prefunction of growth.
