A quick definition of emancipation:

Emancipation means being set free from someone who has authority over you. This usually happens to kids who are not yet adults. It can also happen to people who used to be slaves. Sometimes, it means the kid is free from their parents' control. Other times, it means the parents are free from taking care of the kid. There are two types of emancipation: explicit and implicit. Explicit means a court order is needed to be free. Implicit means you can be free if you get married, become an adult, get in trouble with the law, move out of your parents' house, or join the military. Emancipated kids can do things like work and make money, but they still have rules to follow. If they break the rules, they might lose their freedom.

A more thorough explanation:

Emancipation is the act of freeing someone from the authority of another person. This is usually referring to a minor who is no longer under the control of their parents. In the past, it also applied to slaves who were freed from their owners.

There are two types of emancipation: explicit and implicit. Explicit emancipation happens when a court orders that the person be set free. Implicit emancipation happens when a minor gets married, reaches the age of majority, is convicted of a felony, establishes a permanent residence away from their parents, or joins the armed forces.

Emancipated minors are allowed to engage in economic activity, but they still have some restrictions. If they break these restrictions, their emancipation can be taken away.

For example, if a 17-year-old gets married, they are implicitly emancipated from their parents. They are no longer under their parents' authority and can make their own decisions. However, they still have to follow certain laws and rules, such as not being able to buy alcohol until they are 21.
