  • Abstract:
  • Genital Mutilation is the practice of modifying or harming someone's genital organs for purposes other than medical treatment, usually without that person's consent. It may involve the partial or whole removal of external genitalia, as well as the change or injury of the genital organs, and it can result in psychological, physical, & emotional distress. Frequently driven by religious or cultural convictions genital Mutilation is done on people across all genders, including newborns, kids, and teenagers. Both men and women would be protected by specific legislation against genital mutilation because they would protect bodily integrity, prohibit non-consensual procedures, give victims legal recourse to seek justice as well as compensation, it will ensure health and safety, and restrict such practices to situations that are medically necessary and monitored. This article is in an effort to address the need for statutory emphasis in India, and the legal, cultural, and ethical challenges surrounding non-consensual male circumcision and female genital mutilation (FGM). Despite India's commitments within international human rights conventions, there is no explicit legislation that criminalizes FGM or non-consensual circumcision. The findings support more robust legal safeguards for children and aim to raise awareness and facilitate discussion about how to reconcile cultural customs with human rights.
