My mother-in-law embarrasses me in front of her friends and neighbours, making untrue claims about me threatening her safety. We’re living apart from her, but she still does this. How can I get her to stop?

Under Indian law, you can seek legal recourse for defamation if your mother-in-law’s false claims harm your reputation. You can also consider filing a police complaint if her actions amount to harassment or stalking. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer to discuss your specific circumstances and available options.
