Quduri describes a near-pubescent boy or girl whose status is uncertain and who declares that puberty has occurred. Uncertainty means that the known evidence does not conclusively resolve the matter.
The rule attends not only to a number but also to proximity to puberty and the plausibility of the claim.
It is an evidentiary rule, not an unrestricted license for a child of any age to assert adulthood.
