Under Section 18 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, the Magistrate may pass a protection order that, among other things, prohibits the respondent from alienating any assets, including the aggrieved woman's stridhan, without the leave of the Magistrate. So the answer is "Section 18". Section 12 deals with the application to the Magistrate, Section 14 with counselling and Section 15 with the assistance of a welfare expert; none of them is the provision under which a protection order is made.
