Don’t violate personal safety protection orders, warns SPC

  The local court explicitly prohibited Zhang from committing further acts of domestic abuse against Wang, as well as from stalking, harassing, or contacting her and her family members. The order also barred him from interfering with their normal activities, such as study, life, and work, and enlisted the local public security department, the women's federation, and the village committee to help enforce the order. Additionally, through court mediation, the couple divorced.

  However, just a month after the order was issued, Zhang returned to Wang's residence and assaulted her and her relatives. After Wang reported the incident to the police, it was also discovered that Zhang had been using text messages to harass and threaten Wang.

  Given Zhang's failure to comply with the order, the court decided to detain him for 15 days.

  "A personal safety protection order is a legal document issued by courts, carrying significant legal weight," Chen explained. "This means that everyone must adhere to it strictly, and any violations can lead to legal consequences."

  Domestic violence is not simply a "private family matter", but Ran Keping, the division's deputy chief judge, noted that many still view domestic abuse as a private issue, often confusing it with regular family disputes.

  He referenced the law, pointing out that it defines domestic violence as physical or psychological harm inflicted by one family member on another through actions like beating, confinement, mutilation, deprivation of personal freedom, repeated verbal abuse, or intimidation. "In short, domestic violence is fundamentally about control or harm, typically ongoing, repetitive, and cyclical, rather than a one-time emotional outburst," he explained.
