In Islamic
legal terminology, Baligh or
Bulugh refers to a person who has reached maturity or
puberty and has full responsibility under
Islamic law. Legal theorists assign different ages and criteria for reaching this state for both males and females. For example, in issues pertaining to marriage, baligh is related to the
Arabic legal expression, hatta tutiqa'l-rijal, which means that the a wedding may not take place until the girl is physically fit to engage in
sexual intercourse. In comparison, baligh or balaghat concerns the reaching of
sexual maturity which becomes manifest by the
menses. The age related to these two concepts can, but need not necessarily, coincide. Only after a separate condition called rushd, or intellectual maturity to handle one's own property, is reached can a girl receive her
bridewealth.
