If false then it would be libel. Libel refers to the written falsehood. Slander refers to the spoken falsehood.

Most Biblical scholars put the Virgin Mary’s age at about 12-16 when she was betrothed to Joseph.

In a culture where virginity at marriage was expected, girls married just after puberty.

“That’s slander. No way she was that young.”

The person making the accusation of slander has the burden of proof.
