Abstract

There are a number of questions in the theory and practice of law: “Who is a child?” “When does childhood begin and end?”, “What is the definition of the term ‘child’?”, “What does the concept of ‘child’ include and what is the content that makes it up?”. In this vein, the aim of the article was to analyze the issue of children’s rights, the discussion of which is still under debate and does not fully satisfy all parties involved. The authors used a set of methods including: logical, chronological and systematic approaches, comparative analysis, as well as the results of social surveys, literature analysis and statistical methods. As a result, the content and essence of such historical and legal terms as “Rushd”, “adna sinn al-bulug”, “murohiq” were clarified. The authors conclude that at present there is a disagreement among researchers in determining the legal status of the concept of “child” and in elaborating the definition of “child” itself, so one of the ways to solve this problem is the proposal to change the legal definition of the concept of “child” by expanding its scope and meanings.
