My wife converted to Islam and we legally married in 2006, registering it at the mosque. However, a local official has written to the community, questioning the validity of our marriage and falsely accusing my wife of not fully following Islam. He’s even spread hurtful rumors about my family. Can I take legal action against him? And is there a way to shield my parents from this situation?

Yes, you can take legal action against the official for defamation and spreading false information. You can file a police complaint and seek legal advice from a lawyer. To shield your parents, you can seek a restraining order against the official to prevent him from contacting or harassing them.
