Does a 15-year-old need the consent of a legal representative to purchase an iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Based on Clause 4 Article 21 of the Civil Code 2015, it is stipulated regarding minors as follows:
A minor is a person under eighteen years old.
Civil transactions of persons under six years old shall be established and executed by their legal representatives.
Persons from six years old to under fifteen years old must have the consent of their legal representatives when establishing and executing civil transactions, except for civil transactions serving daily living needs suitable to the age group.
Persons from fifteen years old to under eighteen years old shall establish and execute civil transactions by themselves, except for civil transactions related to real estate, movable property that must be registered, and other civil transactions as prescribed by law that require the consent of legal representatives.
Thus, in principle, you can establish and execute civil transactions by yourself, except for civil transactions related to real estate and movable properties that must be registered. Therefore, an iPhone 13 Pro Max is not a movable property that must be registered, so you can use your personal money to purchase it without needing the consent of a legal representative. However, from the family perspective, you may want to discuss this matter with your parents.
Respectfully!
