Ager is a legal term that refers to a person who has reached the age of majority, which is typically 18 years old. Once an individual becomes an ager, they are considered legally responsible for their actions and are entitled to exercise certain rights and privileges, such as entering into contracts, voting, and making decisions about their own healthcare. The concept of ager is important in various legal contexts, including criminal law, contract law, and family law, as it determines the level of legal capacity and autonomy a person possesses.
