Protection orders were issued by magistrates' courts; the procedure for applying for such orders was therefore more accessible to women living in towns than to those living in more remote areas, since not every province and island had a magistrates' court.
保护令由地方法庭公布；因此，城镇妇女与偏远地区的妇女相比，更容易办理申请此种保护令的程序，因为并不是每个省和岛都有地方法庭。
