Dear Group,

I am cataloging a book that deals with:

"Din mufla ha-samukh le-ish."

I have found on the web a definition  of this prinicple with is in the Talmud: 

"dictating that an eleven-year-old girl or twelve-year-old boy can issue a 
binding vow so long as they have the basic understanding of the concept."

Would I use 

Vows--Jewish law

Any help that can be provided will be appreciated.

Thanks, Heidi
