Hello,
He can file for divorce for cruelty. He can even file a police complaint. He has to Inform the police about the behaviour.
The timing for the co tested matter divorce cannot be said but for mutual consent it is 6months.

Assuming your brother and his wife are Hindu and staying in India except in the state of J&K, your brother can file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty and desertion under section 13(1)(ia) and 13 (1)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act. The Petition can be filed in the district family court having jurisdiction.
