Forced circumcision is the circumcision of men and boys against their will.[1] In a biblical context, the term is used especially in relation to Paul the Apostle and his polemics against the circumcision controversy in early Christianity.[2] Forced circumcisions have occurred in a wide range of situations, most notably in the compulsory conversion of non-Muslims to Islam[3] and the forced circumcision of Teso, Turkana and Luo men in Kenya, as well as the abduction of South African teenage boys to so-called circumcision schools ("bush schools").[4] In South Africa, custom allows uncircumcised Xhosa-speaking men past the age of circumcision (i.e., 25 years or older) to be overpowered by other men and forcibly circumcised.[5] Routine infant circumcision, as performed in some highly developed nations such as the United States and South Korea, may also be classified as forced circumcision, even if performed in a clinical setting. Any circumcision performed on an infant could be considered forced circumcision due to the inability of the infant to give consent.
