Adamant father syndrome is the term used to describe the behavior manifested by many circumcised men when they become fathers. The "adamant father" typically insists that any son born be circumcised even though there is no medical reason for it and it is contrary to current medical advice.
According to Brown & Brown (1987)[1] and Rediger & Muller (2013,)[2] the circumcision status of the father is the most important determining factor in whether a boy is circumcised after birth.
