@BD We have no idea at all what country this is from. So who knows. It could come from a country where under 18's are often parents.

@writeaway I've run out of space in Reference comments section, so moved here.

You are, of course, absolutely right about youthful fathers, though one should add that girls have become mothers as young as 5 or 6 years old (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers... However, I'd only accept that explanation if it were usual for birth certificates to mention that a child's parents were adults.

As I see in other parts of the certificate (name + profession, and name + profession, "tous deux majeurs"/name + "tailleur d'habit majeur"), I assume it's indicating that the person is an adult/of [full/legal] age.
Shabelula Feb 4, 2020:
do you mean he's just an aged craftsman?
Desirée Morales Ruiz (X) (asker) Feb 4, 2020:
My apologies. Since I've just realized "majeur" just means "of age," I should've indeed included "tailleur" in the entry.

So, "tailleur d'habit"= tailor
"talleur d'habit majeur"= tailor of age
writeaway Feb 4, 2020:
you are parsing your term incorrectly "tailleur d'habit majeur"
leaving out the word tailleur makes it misleading.

agree mchd : et majeur, parce qu'il avait atteint la majorité !

agree B D Finch : Je pense que "tailleur majeur" doit plutôt dire "master tailor" or "senior tailor". Je pense que les parents de l'enfant ont forcement atteint la majorité !

somebody 15 or 16 can father a child, but they aren't adults legally
