0 You cannot call a 19-year-old man as minor. Do you think that it is possible in Japan a man 19 is still not an adult? 02 br

0 Are 'minor' and 'man' related though? A guy can be a father at 16 years old; that makes him a man, but according to the law in some countries, he can't buy cigarettes or alcohol until he is 21. 'Minor' and 'man' are not synonymous. 0-

0 A minor is someone under the legal age of majority (legal adulthood). The age at which you stop being a minor must vary from country to country. In the UK it is 18. 0-

0 It depends on the law of the land that beyond which age a person is qualified as adult. As yoong Lait said above that in singapore its 21 years and in my country its 18 years. Hence you need to know what is the age group for Japan 02 br
