English?
Menores de edad en inglés son minors. Tambien en algunas circunstancias se puede decir underage. Ejemplos:
Underage drinking is a huge social problem.
Selling alcohol products to minors is against the law.

Mayoría de edad en inglés es age of consent, legal age.
Now that she is 18 years old she has reached legal age and can marry without her parents' consent.
