I am currently going through a tough divorce. My younger sister's marriage was held last month. A week prior to her wedding, the elder sister of wife went into my sister's Facebook profile and started contacting random people on FB hoping to get in touch with her husband. Through social media, she was able to connect with my sister's in laws. Over a phone conversation, my wife's sister had said so many demeaning things about my family and I am deeply hurt by each and every statement made by her. She also said so many demeaning things about my sister and mom. I am being told by an expert that if I file a defamation case against her, then the other person also has to appear in court in future. My younger sister just got married and I really do not want her new family to be a part of any kind of court proceedings. I am just wondering what remedies do I have so that I can file a defamation case against my wife's sister and no one from my sister's family side needs to get involved in this.
Yes, You can always file the defamation against her as she is involved in spreading false information against your sister which is absolutely bad in law and the law prohibits any such things being committed by her. you first file a criminal complaint to the police mentioning all the minute details shared by her and than file suit for damges in civil court. for any other assistance you can contact us through law rato.

The advice you have received is for filing a criminal complaint for defamation. In such cases the presence of witnesses and complainant is required in the court from time to time. However, you have the alternative to file a civil case for defamation suit seeking damages from the person defaming your family members. You can contact me to explore this option further.

In this connection, if you file a defamation case then your younger sister and her in laws will come into picture as all has been said to your younger sister and in laws, therefore if you really want to go to court then you will have to involve them in the case.
