The first step to appeal the case of imprisonment. Then application for divorce shall be made. There's nothing hurdles the divorce. A petition for RCR shall be filed to reunion. If not proceed for divorce.

Better take steps to secure your brother by getting a bail order. As already your brother is undergoing imprisonment for more than 21 months, he has every legal right to be enlarged on bail. Once he is out of the prison, I think he can sort out this issue with his wife. Under law your brother wife has every right to go to court to seek divorce on multiple grounds. Subject to the merits in the petition the court will decide one way or the other.
