There is a law "who" says
Hi,
Would you explain why "who" is being used here instead of "that or which"? Is it okay to personify things in English?
"Show me where there is a law who says I cannot dry my clothes in sunshine," she said.
Thank you,
m

No, but perhaps it is a part of the character's character. Is this from a piece of fiction?

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the late reply. I didn't realized until now that the emailing system had been updated and the default had been set "Disabled".
Anyway, this is a longer version of the piece.
Because I had always noticed this house, I found it re markable when, through the recommendation of a casual acquaintance, the new owner hired me to work three days

So, why do you think "who" is used? A part of the character's character?-- Presumably, or at least her idiolect. She also says 'mind to their own business', which is not native English either.

I had misunderstood what you meant by "the character's character."
Thank you for the reply. Now it perfectly clear.
