Yes, you can file a defamation and harassment case against your daughter’s husband. Indian law allows parents to file such cases if they are directly targeted by someone’s defamatory actions and harassment, even if the primary dispute is between their daughter and her husband. It’s crucial to gather evidence of the harassment and defamation for your case.
