Hi Heidi,
I'm not familar with the concept, but from the definition you provided, the
heading "Vows (Jewish law)" would be appropriate, and could be doubled with
"Children (Jewish law)."
You might develop a more specific heading that addresses the issue of minors
and the age of legal competence. I would recommend consulting Aaron
Kuperman.
I hope this is some help.

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
