Violence inflicted on a family member because of a belief that this particular person may bring or is bringing dishonour on the family is something that affects many families, including international families.
There may be violence in forced marriage and stranded spouse cases as well as other situations. There are a number of protective steps the Court can take to help people in these situations, including making what are called Non Molestation Orders prohibiting a person from being violent, threatening violence or intimidating and harassing or instructing anyone else to carry out these acts.
