Stalking is addressed by which article?

• A. Article 130
• B. Article 134
• C. Article 117a
• D. 120c

Answer: (A)

Stalking is addressed by the article that specifically defines and prohibits stalking and criminal harassment. Because stalking involves a pattern of unwanted behavior directed at a particular person that would cause fear, distress, or safety concerns over time, it needs its own statutory provisions with defined elements and penalties. This distinct focus allows for the necessary protection of victims and appropriate remedies, such as enhanced penalties or protective measures. Other articles typically cover different crimes—single acts of threats, violence, or general harassment—without capturing the sustained, targeted nature of stalking, so they don’t fit as the correct reference for this topic.
