The word character destruction in legal terminology is called as outraging the modesty of a woman which is well explained U/s. 509 and also explained U/s. 354 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. However, concerned to your query the available remedy is the above said victim woman should be taken to the nearby Police Station and an First Information Report (FIR) shall be reported and later she also has a remedy of filing a defamation case against the persons culprit.

It is always better to genrate irrefutable evidence say; audio/visual.

If possible and workable, help her to get her employed with good family(ies) and her children admitted for education.

Open school ;NIOS are available.

This can als happen.

If there is a society, some help group,NGO etc in the vicinity, involve and help the woman and her children but stay away from unwarranted troubles.
