The Ruling on Vows for Those Below the Age of Maturity

Question
What is the ruling on the vows of those who are below the age of maturity (14 years)?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The important factor is not the fourteen years, but rather the legal maturity, which for a woman is menstruation, and for a man is nocturnal emission and ejaculation. Therefore, anyone who reaches maturity is obligated to fulfill a vow, and if they have not reached maturity, they are not obligated. And God knows best.
