Useful Information

In Turkey, the issuance of restraining orders, particularly in the context of domestic violence and protection of family members, is primarily regulated by the "Law on the Protection of the Family and Prevention of Violence Against Women" (Law No. 6284), which was enacted to provide protection for individuals who are exposed to violence or at risk of violence from family members or intimate partners.
Key provisions under this law include:
- Protection Measures: Courts may issue various protection measures for victims of domestic violence, including restraining orders that can prohibit the perpetrator from approaching the victim's residence, workplace, school, or other specified locations.
- Emergency Intervention: In urgent situations, law enforcement authorities can issue temporary protection measures without the need for a court order. However, these measures must be presented to a judge for approval within 48 hours.
- Scope of Protection: The law covers a wide range of protective measures beyond restraining orders, such as financial support, psychological counselling, and the provision of shelter for victims.
- Penalties: The law specifies penalties for those who violate the terms of a protection order, including imprisonment and fines.
Additionally, the "Civil Code" (Law No. 4721) and the "Criminal Code" (Law No. 5237) provide further legal frameworks that can encompass restraining orders and protection measures, particularly in the contexts of harassment, stalking, or threats.
