/// Well, it all depends on her motivation. From what you say below, this
dastardly healer does cure ennemies to p... off her father because he, a
sensible man, will not let her marry some scoundrel. So she's not subject to
"healing urges from the goddess" or such nonsense. So you could threaten to bash
her beau's head, or have him sent into exile. Again, no physical violence
occurs. Hit her where it hurts : her lover. Or, even worse, you could find sick
children to cure. Children trump everything else.

/// That is truely excellent. I love your story ! This is living, breathing

I'm just hoping to help grandma find another way, before my mother gets angry
enough to do something worse.

Magics. If you're a man, you should let women find their way - meanwhile

this discussion has convinced me that Chalana Arroy is more the opposite of Vadrus than of Humakt. Both Chalana Arroy and Vadrus have the same inability or unwillingness to distinguish between friend and foe, which makes "heal everything, regardless of what it is" and "hurt everything, regardless of what it is" equally disruptive to society.
At least Humakti can tell which side they're on! /// Not always. When my humakti goes into Death Song mode, it's a good idea to stay clear. He needs Killing then. He's not particular about whom.
"Giving aid and comfort to the enemy" is treason. /// I'm not of that opinion and that's where you clan problem is. She can always say she follows her Goddess' will and nobody can prove that. Your Lawspeaker will confirm this. Your sister is a spoilt brat kicking up a storm because of a silly love spat, but she's no traitor. Outlawry makes no sense. Besides, it'd make your clan's life difficult next time they need serious healing. Think carefully before you act.
And there's even worse : it could be True Love and not a kid's love boo-boo. Then you are in truely deep do-do. "No one can make you do anything" applies to her too !
Who's the GM who puts you guys to such difficulties ? Bravo to him !
