One of the conditions that necessitate being placed under guardianship and thus being protected is "minority," and the other is "restriction."

Minority: Minors remain under the custody of their parents until they reach the age of majority (18 years) or are deemed adults through marriage or a court decision. Thus, minors generally do not need to be placed under guardianship for their protection. However, in cases such as the death of both parents, being declared legally missing, or the removal of parental custody rights, the minor is left without legal guardians. In such cases, a guardian is appointed by the guardianship authority to protect the minor. The guardian manages the minor's personal affairs and assets and represents them legally.
