The so-called [[German Circumcision Act|Circumcision Act]] is seen as a special law by many [[intactivists]], because at the latest in paragraph 2 of Section 1631d BGB ''(Civil Code)'' a special provision for the so-called [[Brit MilaMilah|Jewish Circumcision]] is formulated in the "[[Mohel clause]]" which deviates from the equality principle in law. (The [[Muslim Circumcision]] is not carried out in general within the first six months of life of the boy.)
Because the term "Special Law" has a basically negative flavor (at least in Germany) since the Nazi time, some critics of this law rather use the term "Privilege" which means the same in regards to the content.
