In the so-called German Circumcision Act (§ 1631d Civil Code) which was adopted by the German Bundestag on 12 December 2012, the paragraph (2) refers to the special case of Jewish circumcisions which are usually done on the 8th day after the birth of the boy.
Because at this time, no effective pain treatment for the circumcision without major risks for the child is possible, they had to create a special law to legitimize the Jewish circumcision which now can be found in this paragraph (2). It reads::
(2) During the first 6 months of life of the child, persons appointed by a religious group may perform circumcisions according to paragraph 1, if they are specially trained and, without being a medical doctor, are similarly competent to perform circumcision.
