harassment whether mental or physical is a ground for separation provided you prove the same in a court of law. regarding custody of child, there are lot of aspects are involved, as to who will give better education and comfort to the child i.e. the father or mother and to whom the child has more affection etc.,

Dear Sirs,

Cruelty either physical or mental is a valid ground for divorce. Your brother can file for divorce and obtain a decree from the court. You can also move an application for the child custody.

sir, in this case it is better that your brother keeps the child with him and file a divorce case on ground of mental cruelty and further in the divorce Petition mention that the custody is with your brother so that if at all she wants the custody of child then let her fight it out in court, and yes cruelty is a very good ground for divorce.
