Family - case against my sister-in-law Family - case against my sister-in-law

9 months ago

Can I file a case against my sister-in-law if she is a toxic person and she's disturbing our peace of life?
She is also mentally harassing my differently-abled sister by reacting to her deeds. She (sister-in-law) has been in my family for around 7rs but still, she behave differently in the sense she just wants to live with her husband (my brother). My family is a peace-loving one and we do not want her to get into trouble. But as of now, it seems really impossible to change her attitude and it started destructing our peace. I'm a civil service aspirant hence I'm already under stress due to studies and other things, and side-by-side my sister-in-law is started to yell at my differently-abled elder sister. Now I'm finding it difficult to deal with her with patience. Since my brother is keeping silent there's literally no one to control her behaviour. I really want to know that if I give a complaint against her at my nearest police station, will that help? I'm afraid that the law will support her just because she is the in-law of my family and she's an outsider. And also I want to know if I file a case against her will that affect my future in govt jobs?

A.Dear client,

If you believe she is causing disturbances and engaging in toxic behavior, there are different ways you can deal with it. Firstly, it might be worth trying mediation as a way to address the issues peacefully. A neutral third party can help facilitate communication and find solutions that can benefit everyone involved. If mediation proves unsuccessful and the situation continues to deteriorate, you could explore the option of filing a complaint with the police. However, it's vital to gather evidence and document specific instances of her behavior to support your claims effectively.
In more severe cases where her behavior poses a significant threat, obtaining a restraining order might be a viable option. This legal measure would set clear boundaries to protect your family members.

Regarding your concern about potential repercussions on your future, filing a complaint or case should not negatively impact your career prospects, particularly in government jobs. As long as your actions are lawful and reasonable, there should be no adverse effects.
