Can FIR or Harassment case be filed based on email conversation


18-Oct-2023 (In Family Law)
A daughter in law (DIL) living in the USA has a significant disagreement with the father in law (FIL) in India. The DIL speaks in an abusive language on the phone and the FIL responds by means of an e-mail telling the DIL that he will take steps against her for her bad behavior and make her life miserable. Is this sufficient grounds for the DIL to file an FIR or obtain restraining authority for the FIL?

No this is not sufficient . What is the age of FIL. Where does the son live and what is his stand in the whole process? There are some other angle in which the case can be approached . But some details have to be shared .

There is no sufficient ground for dil to file a case against the father in law all that a father in law could do is to file a general diary against the dil in his local PS indicating her bad behaviour towards him.
