本文旨在介绍斯堪的纳维亚关于切割女性生殖器的立法，并探讨法律的影响。并列的趋势，整形生殖器手术在西方声称，女性割礼可能是一种普遍放弃的做法在斯堪的纳维亚半岛，我们强调的双重道德固有的当前公共讨论。最后，我们提出一个问题：当涉及到改变女性生殖器时，法律面前人人平等的法律的原则是否得到了尊重？
This article intends to present the Scandinavian legislation on female genital mutilation and explore the implications of the laws. Juxtaposing trends of plastic genital surgery in the West with claims that female circumcision may be a practice generally abandoned in Scandinavia, we highlight the double morality inherent in current public discussions. Finally, we pose the question: Is the legal principle of equality before the law regarded when it comes to alterations of the female genitals?
