Understanding Family Violence in Singapore

Singapore law captures family violence under the Women’s Charter as a range of abusive actions including, but not limited to, actual or perceived physical violence, emotional and psychological violence, and unlawful detention.

The afflicted people may be spouses, children, elderly parents, or any family member who lives within the same household. The effects of such violence have been shown to inflict far deeper harm than mere physical damage, resulting in permanent mental and emotional suffering. It is, therefore, clear that legal protection is essential and not optional.

Legal Protection Against Family Violence

In Singapore, the Personal Protection Order (PPO) is the remedy for victims. This can be obtained from the Family Justice Courts. Other orders of protection include:

• Domestic Exclusion Orders (DEO): Bans the abuser from accessing the victim’s home or parts of the home.
• Expedited Orders (EO): granted in urgent cases before a full hearing.
• Mandatory Counselling Orders (MCO): supervision orders requiring professional treatment to alter and control the behaviour of the second party.

Some people find the application and court process for these orders overly complicated, especially those suffering psychologically. This is where Amarjit Sidhu Law comes in—with their comprehensive grasp of Singapore’s legal system.
