* In the case of [[Re B and G (children) (No 2) EWFC 3]] , [2015], Sir James Munby ruled that male infant circumcision constituted "significant harm" and therefore a violation of the [[Children Act 1989]].
* In the 2016 case of [[Re L and B (CHILDREN)]] the court ruled that circumcision should be deferred until the child is old enough to decide for himself.
* In 2021, a British judge has ruled that a boy who was taken into care shouldn't be subjected to non-consensual, non-therapeutic genital cutting. Mr. Justice Cobb said a decision about circumcision should be deferred until the 21-month-old boy is older and able to ‘make his own choice’.<ref>{{REFjournal
