Non-molestation order

A non-molestation order is a legal restriction issued by a court to protect someone from abuse, harassment, or threatening behavior by another person. It prevents the individual named in the order from contacting, approaching, or being near the protected person. This legal measure aims to keep victims safe and ensure their peace of mind by restricting abusive or intimidating actions. Violating a non-molestation order can lead to criminal prosecution, highlighting its importance in safeguarding individuals from harm.
