Art. 124 StGB (Swiss Criminal Code)[1] reads (highlighting in the legal text by IntactiWiki):
Swiss Criminal Code
Second book: Special provisions, First title: Criminal acts against life and limb, 3. Bodily harm
Art. 124 - Mutilation of female genitals[2]
- Anyone who mutilates the genitals of a female person, significantly and permanently impairs their natural function or damages them in any other way, will be punished with imprisonment of up to ten years or a fine of not less than 180 daily rates.
- Also liable to prosecution is anyone who commits the act abroad, is in Switzerland and is not extradited. Article 7 paragraphs 4 and 5 apply.
Non-binding comment from IntactiWiki:
- The offenses mentioned in this Penal Code article make FGM a criminal offense. As in Germany, this article does not differentiate between female children and adult women. MGM has not been explicitly criminalized in Switzerland either, only implicitly.
