Please lodge a complaint against your daughter-in-law for domestic violence with the local police station. Once police/protection officer interfere in this matter she will come in her right senses and stop her doings. After that she will try to compromise with you and will also request you to take back your complaint. If that situation arises, don't withdraw your complaint. Let a proceeding get started against her for her wrong doings.

If you have any further issues relating to legal matter wherein you are not able to pay lawyer's fees, you can approach Free Legal Aid Service which is found in every courts in our Country and get their service free of cost. They work on pro bono basis and you don't have to pay anything.

Since I understand from your query that your elder daughter in law is torturing you, for that you can immediately lodge complain to the police or write letters to different authorities so that they provide protection to you, even if the the torture does not go less, you can file writ petition before the High Court, one of my client aged about 80 years got good relief from Calcutta High Court. You can also file a complain under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007. All the best. Regards
