Your sister can get monthly maintenance for her self and her daughter also. For that you need to file case for maintenance u/s 125 of Crpc. For more details revert back to me. Best wishes and Regards.

Yes your sister and her daughter both get maintenance from their husband and father resp. Without divorce. Filed application under section 125 of CrPC or under the provision of Protection of Women From Demotic Violence Act before competent court in whose jurisdiction your sister reside from last six months.
