My husband and I got married eight months ago, but my mother disowned me. The police haven’t been helpful. Now she’s calling my husband’s office and complaining to random people, putting his job at risk. What can we do?

Your mother’s actions constitute harassment, and you can file a complaint with the police under Section 499 (defamation) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code. You can also consider seeking legal advice from a lawyer to explore options like obtaining a restraining order to stop her from contacting your husband.
