When do girls who have not yet menstruated become religiously accountable?

Religious accountability begins with reaching puberty. Girls are considered to have reached puberty when they experience menstruation. If a girl has not reached puberty by the age of 15, she is deemed legally pubescent and accountable from the date she completes her 15th year.
