Talk:Nonage

Presently this redirects to Minor (law). However, Arnold, in The Marriage Law of England, Staples, 1951, at p 62, equates this expression with the disability created by section 2 of the Marriage Act 1949, which (at 16) was below the age of majority (then 21). At p 13 he equates nonage with lack of the legal age of puberty that existed before 1929, which is also not the same as minority.
