Cert. Petition Filed In Oregon Religious Circumcision Case

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Friday's Oregonian reports that last month a petition for certioarari was filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Boldt v. Boldt, (Docket No. 07-1348). In the case, a now-divorced mother who is a member of the Russian Orthodox Church is seeking to prevent her former husband-- a convert to Judaism-- from having their 12-year old son circumcised. The issue was raised in the context of a petition for change of custody. The Oregon Supreme Court below remanded the case, ordering the trial court to determine whether the child wants the circumcision, or objects to it-- an issue over which the parents disagree. (See prior posting.)
