There are exceptions to the rule.

The CEO of Jimmy John's received flak about going on safari trips and paying
to hunt endangered black rhinos.  Even tough endangered, an old bull rhino is
considered a threat to the herd because he can no longer reproduce, yet
powerful enough to mortally wound younger bulls that approach his cows.  The
game wardens and local villagers are the ones who make decisions on herd
management, and authorize the overly aggressive bulls to be taken. 

In the film and TV series for Logan's Run, the age was 30.  My underrstanding
from what others said, the age is younger in the original story.  Everyone is
dietarily "on the pill," so sex with multiple partners is a common activity. 
Children are genetically designed from harvested DNA and grown in artficial
wombs, and the children are raised by the system without parents.  In one
part of the film they implied sometime there are unplanned children, and they
are normally taken to an older, less visited are of the domed city.  It
looked like a cathedral long abandoned by the culture, and the residents there
live off the grid.
