      Previously I have answered a similar question which is available at the link: Defamation case for false 498A IPC case filed by wife. Please read that as it mostly covers your question, including the relevant exception contained in the definition of defamation under Section 499 IPC.

      Secondly, whether a case of defamation is made out will depend on the detailed facts of an individual case. It cannot be generalised. You may please consult some local lawyer by showing him your relevant documents / details, and if so advised, you can file a defamation case against your father-in-law.
