Lastly, she did have a right to leave Atlas and Jacques had no right to keep her from leaving if we assume people the same age as Weiss are considered adults in Remnant as well. I mean, she is about the same age as Yang, and in that same Volume, Tai acknowledged that Yang is an adult now. If Weiss is a couple or so months behind Yang in age, then he would still have a right based on technicality, though. Well, Tai is a somewhat permisive parent though... and unlike Weiss Yang effectively acted as her young sisters caretaker when Taiyang couldn't deal and had to go out of town, I mean, just because you can be married in some states at a younger age with parents permission doesn't mean your peers can do so without it... and that's assuming a universal law, which seems highly unlikely in this case...

I'd wager Vacuo has the lowest ages for independence, while Vale and Mistral fall somewhere between it and Atlas.
