disagree  pcs_MCIL: No, in questo caso è giusto dire "età legale" poiché non sempre coincide con la maggiore età (es. per guidare negli usa devi avere 16 anni, ma diventi maggiorenne a 21)

neutral  Riccardo Schiaffino: Paola, negli USA diventi maggiorenne a 18, non 21

agree  Mara Ballarini: sì, anche se ora in molti paesi coincide con la maggiore età, non in tutti. Si dice età legale in vari contesti,non solo per i matrimoni

agree  Vincenzo Di Maso: per essere più specifici è meglio appunto "età legale". "Maggiore età" coprirebbe il significato solo parzialmente.

Marriageable age (or marriage age) is the age at which a person is allowed to marry, either as of right or subject to parental or other forms of consent. The age and other requirements vary between countries. The marriage age should not be confused with the age of majority or the age of consent. The marriage age in a country may be below the age of majority and the age of consent that applies in that country. Additionally, the age at which a person is legally permitted to engage in sexual activity may be below the marriage age.
