According to this ruling, circumcising infants and children for religious or other unspecified reasons is now illegal. The court cites the "freedom of religion of the child" as paramount. People can still get circumcisions done, but only with the consent of the person undergoing the procedure, or otherwise, if it is deemed medically necessary by a doctor.
