In the so-called [[German Circumcision Act]] (§ 1631d Civil Code) which was adopted by the German Bundestag on [[2012-12-12|Dec 12, 2012]], the paragraph (2) refers to the special case of [[Jewish circumcision]]s 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|special law]] to legitimize the [[Jewish circumcision]] which now can be found in this paragraph (2). It reads::
<blockquote>''(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. ''</blockquote>
