An Injunction Against Harassment is a court order that stops someone from engaging in harassing behavior toward another person. The key idea is to protect the victim by prohibiting the harasser from acts like contacting, following, approaching, or threatening the protected person, and it does not require any existing relationship between the parties. This means you can obtain protection even if you are not related or dating the person causing the harassment, as long as there are credible acts or threats of harassment.

This makes the option that specifies prohibiting acts of harassment toward another person with no relationship requirement the best fit. The other possibilities miss the purpose: an injunction against harassment is not limited to spouses or romantic partners, it isn’t primarily about mediation, and it isn’t a tool to generate more harassment complaints but a safeguard to stop harassment itself.
