The proposed litigation may be very costly and time consuming with uncertain results. You should try to forget the entire issue as a bad dream. The litigation will cause you more harm than any use because you will be made to repeat all the incidents and abuses over and over again first before the lawyer and then in the court and you may cross examined causing further trauma to you and your family.

AVOID LITIGATION. BUY PEACE. GOOD LUCK.!!

What is the query?

If you want to file a defamation case, you may do so subject to scrutiny of available evidence and limitation.

Indeed you have been defamed. But by filing defamation you will end up with unnecessary litigation without knowing what the end result be. In alternative, we suggest that you take an unconditional apology from the other party and forget about the issue.

am fully convinced that the wife of your colleague and her sister have defamed you and your parents and the allegations levelled by them are unfounded. you and your parents can file a criminal complaint of defamation together u/s 499/500 of indian penal code and also file a suit for damages. the wife and her sister can be sued for using slanderous remarks against you and the allegations are very serious in nature. nowadays even a prostitute cannot be called a prostitute in public and the culprits have defamed such a decent girl like you. i think such people who have no control over their tongue and keep on committing moral killings should be taught a good lesson. go ahead and file the complaint and the suit for damages otherwise you will have to live with this guilt for your entire life that you did not initiate any action against the women who tarnished your image in public. winning or losing the case is secondary.
