Aside from lowering the age limits. Doesn't theoretical manhood in Jewish customs start at 13? That being said, unless you have a culture willing to enforce that by consensus (which we sadly do not currently have) then you get .gov stepping in as we do now.

Bar Mitzva - i.e. the responsibility, before God, for following His commandments - starts at 13. Girls' equivalents, Bat Mitzva, starts at 12.

I of course disagree with the rest of Balog's statement. :D

Really? I thought it was fairly non-controversial.
