The so-called Circumcision Act is seen as a special law by many intactivists, because at the latest in paragraph 2 of Section 1631d BGB (Civil Code) a special provision for the so-called Jewish Circumcision is formulated in the "Mohel clause" which deviates from the equality principle in law. (The Muslim Circumcision is not carried out in general within the first six months of life of the boy.)
Because the term "Special Law" has a basically negative flavor (at least in Germany) since the Nazi time, some critics of this law rather use the term "Privilege" which means the same in regards to the content.
Special laws express according to content and intention mostly positive or negative discrimination.
