Abstract

This paper deals with a new challenge of multiculturalism: the cultural motivated crime consisting in kissing a male child on the genitals to celebrate his virility and manifest the pride of having a son. Using the methodology of the applied legal anthropology, the paper describes the morphology and history of the cultural practice called “homage to the penis of the child” and suggests a reasonable accommodation, beyond the present criminalization.
