I am a widow and one women of my town thinks I have a affair with her husband which is totally a lie. She calls me, comes to my house and shouts and abuses me in public, she messages all atrocious things to me and threatens me. I had given an application to do about the same 2 years back but she is still doing the same. I'm mentally harassed and my name is defamed. How can I stop this.

Fiel FIR, police complain for criminal intimidation, nuisance and sending of offensive messages though a communication device.
You can lodge a criminal complaint against her for the nuisance she is doing to you besides, you can even file a private criminal complaint under section 500 IPC for defamation.
If you feel that she has ruined your name and fame in the society by such derogatory remarks and unruly behavior to insult you in the public, you can very well file a suit claiming damages too besides the above two cases.
