After 498 case judgment i, whether we can file defamation

Our daughter-in-law absconded from our house after about 8 moths of marriage , we called her entire family members to discuss on the event,they discussed for 4 hrs 22 mts and the entire discussions were videographed . no body mentioned about any mis conduct/ ill treatment/ harrasment /mental torture etc of any sides, but after about 2/3 months, they put a 498 case against us . Now everything is complete, my querry is, whether now we can go for defamation case against the girl and her family ?

Yes you can. But speedy trial is your first priority.

First U have to come out of the 498A case unscathed,defend with all the valid evidences and prove the case false.After acquittal then think about defamation etc.
