Abstract

Female genital mutilation was the first culturally motivated crime to be introduced into Italian law. Article 583 bis of the Criminal Code, a symbolic provision, has given rise to limited case law. Almost ten years after its introduction into the Criminal Code and following the so-called Cartabia reform (Legislative Decree 150 of 2022), it is appropriate to reflect on how criminal law can address cultural conflicts.
