The answer

The default is that forgiveness is better, but it is permissible to defend oneself and retaliate an evil with its equivalent. In this specific case, it is necessary to ward off harm from oneself and expose the falsity and slander of this woman to repel harm and remove injury, and so that no ill-will is thought of you, or people are deceived by her.
