In Germany, the so-called "Circumcision Act" usually means the new additional paragraph 1631d BGB which was adopted on [[2012-12-12|December 12, 2012]] by the German Bundestag. It legalizes the medically not indicated [[circumcision]] of underage boys for the time being under certain conditions.
Paragraph 1631d (2012) was adopted by the Bundestag after intervention into internal German matters by Israel.
Before adoption and continuing thereafter, [[intactivists]] fight against this "Circumcision Act" because, from many legal experts' view, it violates the Grundgesetz ''(German Constitution)'' and other legal norms.
