Question
From what age is the evening prayer obligatory?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
For a man - from the age of Bar Mitzvah it is obligatory, and before that it is only 'education'.
For a woman - there is no obligation for the evening prayer at all.
Source
Mishna Berura, Siman 106, S"K 4
The evening prayer is optional, although now all of Israel has accepted it as obligatory, nevertheless, women have not accepted it, and most do not pray in the evening.
