Posting ex-spouse photo online: legal remedies?

Question

If someone uploads a photo of my previous marriage on social media after divorce, can I take any legal action?

Answer

If the uploaded picture is defamatory or is uploaded to shame or harm you socially or in any way, then you can definitely take legal action. Initially, you can request to delete the picture via a legal notice. If it is not deleted even after the request, then you can take appropriate legal action under conventional criminal laws.
