In fact in Puerto Rico, although not followed strictly, The age of emancipation is tough and almost antiquated for today's reality but it is the law. Civil Code of Puerto Rico, 1930, Article 232 is the law dealing with emancipation and age of majority in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. There are four ways to be emancipated under Puerto Rican law: 1. Emancipation through consent the father or mother that exercises guardianship, or the legal guardian of the minor, declared in an affidavit, with the presence of two witnesses and the minor in question. For this to happen, the minor has to be at least 18. 2. Emancipation by marriage. If the minor received consent to get married he becomes emancipated once he gets married. However, this type of emancipation is not full. The married person, in order to take loans, credits and such, needs according to the text of the law, consent from the father, or in the lack of the father, of the mother. 3. Emancipation by judicial concession. A judge of a Superior Court may, grant emancipation to a minor who is at least 18 years old. 4. Emancipation by age. Anyone becomes emancipated once he turns 21. The fact that this age is much higher than the ages of majority of other states and territories in the union, brings to question what is the status of a legal adult from another state or territory who is still under 21. This apparently is a gray area in Puerto Rican law.
