ANSWER

To answer the question, one must understand about the Jewish coming of age rituals of "Bar Mitzvah" [for boys] and "Bat Mitzvah" [for girls]. [ "Bar" means "son" while "bat" means "daughter" in Hebrew, and "mitzvah" means "commandment" or "law" . ]

In the Bible the Day of Atonement was kept on the tenth day of Tisri, that is, from the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth of that month, five days before the Feast of Tabernacles.

Males were required to fast from the age of thirteen, while females fast from the age of twelve.

After their 12th birthday girls were considered to be able to differentiate between right and wrong and hence can be held accountable for their actions. This included marriage. For example, it is believed by some that Mary (the mother of Jesus) was pregnant with Jesus when she was 13 and gave birth to Jesus when she was 14.

In conclusion, In the Bible did girls become women at their 12th birthday.
