Why Not??
If anybody does it, you have full right.
Anyone trying to break peace, insult or abuse you in public or Society, you can certainly sue her, file Police complaint. Is it due to instigation of your wife? or u mean brother's wife??

The right to sue does not depend upon the nearness of relationship.
The acts done by the lady amounts to criminal defamation which entitles you to initiate proceeding u/s 500 of IPC.
So rest is upto you now.

simply because she is tellingbad words you cannot sue. You have to prove that her allegations are false as well. Then you can due both civil and criminal but you cannot allege someone to harma reputation which you may not have. You must have to rpove her alleations as false intended to diminish your social image before those persons who hear the allegations and also prove that the developed low impression about yu on so hearing.

One is free to initiate action against the person abusing him falsely but in the given matter, you are advised to amicably settle the matter within the boundaries of your family because if you start litigation, you shall have to bear abuses in multiplication not only from your sister in law but also from your employer, lawyer, neighbours, relatives and so on.

You can definitely sue her. But don't forget, nobody dares to abuse or insult any one unless there is a cause behind that.
