''Non-binding comment from IntactiWiki:''
: The offenses mentioned in this Penal Code article make [[FGM]] a criminal offense. [[§ 226a StGB|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.
