Abstract:
Background and Aim: The main purpose of the investigation is to determine a specific and fixed age for puberty for all girls and boys, while people who are distinct and different from each other face the phenomenon of natural puberty and experience it.
Method: This research has analyzed the age of puberty through library resources with an analytical approach and in this regard, it has benefited from field evaluations and medical data related to the subject.
Ethical Considerations: In all stages of writing the present research, the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been observed.
Results: According to the Qur'anic standard and rule in the sixth verse of Surah "al-Nasa", puberty is a natural phenomenon with the actualization of sexual talent and reproductive powers. However, in jurisprudential and legal foundations, reaching the age of 9 years for girls and 15 years for boys is considered to be the beginning of religious, civil and criminal obligations and responsibilities; While the readiness to accept the responsibility and limitations caused by puberty is not the same for girls and boys in different races, different climates and climates where they live, as well as being affected by differences in the culture of communities and the state of social health and other factors; The same field evaluations done in this field confirm it.
Conclusion: Considering the re-reading of jurisprudence and legal foundations in the field of puberty criteria and also paying attention to the audience of hadiths in the criticism of jurisprudential reference to puberty traditions, it shows that determining a specific age for puberty is not very valid and only by choosing some categories of the corresponding traditions. It has become a problem. While other evidences refer to other sexual signs of puberty or at least determining it at an older age. The proof of this statement is the indicators that were obtained based on the measurement and examination of the variable rate of puberty in heterogeneous climates and climates according to the findings of field research and medical components and they all emphasize that girls and boys living in climates and conditions Sardsir climates have reached the maturity stage much later than their counterparts in tropical regions and they find a correct understanding of their social responsibilities and duties at an older age. Therefore, determining a fixed standard for the maturity of all people seems inappropriate.
