The penalty for slander, which is a form of defamation involving spoken statements that harm someone's reputation, can vary by jurisdiction. Typically, the injured party may file a civil lawsuit seeking monetary damages for losses incurred due to the slanderous statements. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the slander was found to be malicious or extreme. Criminal charges for slander are rare, as most defamation cases are handled in civil court.
