See if she is intimidating and threatening you and abusing you you can file a police complaint. Also your mother can file a case of domestic violence and cruelty against her.
First of all stand for yourself not getting married is not a crime. there are so many women who are not married and you can definitely sue her for defamation. but I would like to tell you that don't be ashamed of this marriage taboo. this is your house just nobody can taunt you like this. May I know what you do.
Record her abuses
File police complaint against her under section 504 of IPC for acts endangering peace
Well, your gender is not clear to me.
If you are 8female then you can file a case under PWDV Act to stop thus harassment.
If you are a malw then keep informing the local police about the harassment in writing. This may not stop the nuisance but would help you in a long way in defending the dowry harassment case if filed by her.
Record her acts and than file complaint against her insulting modesty of women. Doesn't matter whether it is Male or female. Whoever do such an act agsisnt a women is a criminal offence.
Also you can file DV case against her under protection of women from domestic violence act. Her act is mental cruelty.
You can inform your brother and parents and ask them to instruct her to mind her own business.
If she is still not remaining silent, then you can issue a legal notice to her warning her to mind her own business instead of interfering in your life unnecessarily.
If you are employed and earning a good salary, you may better avoid her by shifting yourself to some other rented accommodation out of this house which can avoid plenty of problems.
If she still tortures you after leaving the house then you can lodge a complaint against her with police for her threats and seek protection.
No case for mental harassment will be maintainable.
Your complaint will not be entertained by police because there is no provision in law to entertain the complaint.
However, cases of mental harassment can be filed in the civil court as well as a criminal court, if you add the charge of criminal intimidation.
If you stay with her then you can file domestic violence case against her. Otherwise you can file harassment case
Hello,
Ask your husband to interfere, if he refuses then file a case under section 498 a IPC or a case under D. V. Act.
