What I think - ordinarily & Ceteris Paribus(all things being equal), age SHOULD determine maturity but unfortunately it doesn't and that is a pity.

In psychology, maturity is the ability to respond to
the environment in an appropriate manner. This
response is generally learned rather than instinctive.
Maturity also encompasses being aware of the
correct time and place to behave and knowing when
to act appropriately, according to the circumstances
and the culture of the society one lives in. Adult
development and maturity theories include the
'purpose in life' concept, in which maturity
emphasizes a clear comprehension of life's purpose,
directedness, and intentionality, which contributes to the feeling that life is meaningful.
The status of maturity is distinguished by the shift
away from reliance on guardianship/tutoring and the oversight of an adult in decision-making acts.
Maturity has different definitions across legal, social,
religious, political, sexual, emotional, and intellectual contexts. The age or qualities assigned for each of these contexts are tied to culturally-significant indicators of independence that often vary as a result of social sentiments. The concept of psychological maturity has implications across both legal and social contexts, while a combination of political activism and scientific evidence continue to reshape and qualify its definition. Because of these factors, the notion and definition of maturity is somewhat subjective.
