“If you owe me money can I harass your family until you pay me back?”
Pashut08701: Excellent point. And not only harass the family, but outright publicly mevayish (embarrass) the innocent family members. Can you publicly humiliate family members of someone who r’l beat someone, burnt down someone’s house or even killed someone? Of course not. No Beis Din anywhere ever gave permission to disgrace any family member of someone who has wronged someone else.
