Sister in law threatening to file police complaint


20-Aug-2023 (In Family Law)
Due to pandemic and WOrk from home situation I have shifted to my parents home where I’m living with parents brother and sister in law. There’s always dispute between sister in law n family and now as I’m here she keeps me dragging in disputes n makes me difficult to work by creating dramas and if I ask why she threatens me that she will file a police complaint, now being girl and looking at the pandemic situation I’m not able to move to my work location and needs to stay with my parents until and unless I get married. But with constant threats it has become difficult to live here with my parents. Kindly suggest what I can do in this matter to safeguard my rights and live peacefully untill I find alternatives.

Sorry to know about your situation. As of now it is better for you to ignore her threats and let your parents and brother handle her. Till you are living together she won't take a legal step and if you go legal then she would also go legal which would create difficulties...

Hello, You can file an NC with the local police station wherein your sister in law will be called and will be given a warning. If the harassment still continues, you can file a private case for harassment in local court and attach your NC with it.
