At what age can you move out of the house without it being considered running away in Poland?

That's a very difficult question to answer as Polish laws are complexed to say the least. When it concerns a criminal offense a minor is considered anyone between the ages of 15 and 17 years, a juvenile is someone between the ages of 17-21 years. In addition to that the Family and Guardianship Codes require both males and females to be at least 18 before they can marry. The court reserves the right to waive the age requirement and allow a sixteen years old to marry under certain circumstances. Therefore it would seem that to legally leave the family home the person would need to be at least 18 years of age or have the permission of the court. JMHO
