Summary/Abstract: The amendment to Law no. 217/2003 on the prevention and combating of domestic violence through Law no. 25/2012 regarding the amendment and completion of the Law no. 217/2003 made it more difficult to obtain the protection order due to the interpretable nature of the wording of Art. 5 let. c) of this law, obliging the victims of domestic violence to resort to other legal instruments for the removal of the legislative error. In this respect, by the RCC Decision no. 264/2017 it was declared unconstitutional, under the meaning of the phrase "in case of cohabitation", art. 5 lit. c) of Law no. 217/2003. The present study places under analysis the subject to the exception of unconstitutionality, presenting a different meaning of the phrase "in case of cohabitation" than that of the Constitutional Court and the majority of the courts.
