View source for § 228 StGB

'''§ 228 StGB''' reads ''(highlighting in the legal text by IntactiWiki)'':

<blockquote>''Criminal Code (StGB)''<br>'''§ 228 Consent'''<ref>http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__228.html</ref>

Anyone who carries out bodily harm with the consent of the injured person only acts illegally if the act '''offends against common decency despite the consent.'''
</blockquote>

This paragraph raises the question of whether [[HGM]] "is against morality". "'''Good morals''' is the positive moral value of the custom. The term includes the sense of justice and decency of all morally and just thinkers (adults) in society and consequently corresponds to the prevailing legal and social morality."<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_turpitude Wikipedia: Moral turpitude]</ref>

''Non-binding comment from IntactiWiki:''
: "Good morals" are not to be confused with "tradition", "custom" or "common law". In the sense of justice and decency of all morally and just-thinking adults in society, the view that [[FGM]] offends against morality has solidified. In the case of [[MGM]], society largely takes the same point of view. A representative survey in Germany at the end of December 2012 showed that over 70% of the population are against the [[German Circumcision Act]].
