=== Guardianship === | === Guardianship === | ||
When a father or widow died leaving minor children, relatives usually took in the children without court sanction. Sometimes, the court appointed a guardian or curator to look after the children’s interests until they reached the age of 21. If a child was under marriageable age, guardianship was called tuition. Under age was considered 12 for girls and 14 for boys. If the child was of marriageable age, but under 21, it was called curation. | When a father or widow died leaving minor children, relatives usually took in the children without court sanction.
