==When parents disagree==
Parents do not always agree about non-therapeutic circumcision of boys. Consent of both parents is required in the [[United Kingdom]], <ref name="bma2019">{{REFdocument |title=Non-therapeutic male circumcision (NTMC) of children – practical guidance for doctors |url=https://www.bma.org.uk/media/1847/bma-non-therapeutic-male-circumcision-of-children-guidance-2019.pdf |contribution= |last= |first= |publisher=British Medical Association |format=PDF |date=2019 |accessdate=2021-11-22}}</ref> but is advisable everywhere. Doctors and ''[[mohel]]s'' who perform circumcisions should obtain written informed consent from both parents. When parents disagree, litigation between parents regarding a proposed circumcision of an infant son may be brought.
