Family Protection & Rights
Safety and protection when it is needed most.
No one should feel unsafe in their own home. Where there is violence or abuse, the law provides real protection, and obtaining it quickly can make all the difference.
We act for those facing domestic violence, economic abuse and other harm within the family, with the discretion and urgency these matters demand.

Frequently asked
What protection does the law give against domestic violence?
In Punjab, the Punjab Protection of Women against Violence Act 2016 allows a court to grant protection orders, residence orders and monetary orders, and provides for women protection officers and centres. Other provinces and the Islamabad Capital Territory have their own domestic-violence laws. We advise on the remedy that fits your situation and act quickly to obtain it.
Will a protection matter be kept confidential?
Yes. These matters are handled with the utmost discretion and confidentiality, with your safety as the first concern.
What counts as economic abuse?
Economic abuse is the use of money or resources to control or harm a family member — for example, denying maintenance to which someone is entitled or restricting access to shared resources. The law recognises it as a form of abuse, and remedies are available.
