Your sister has so many rights for her. she just need a little good advise.
1. Her husband can certainly file for divorce, however he will not get the divorce just like that. Whatever allegations he will put against your sister, he'll have to prove those allegations in the court and has to provide evidence for the same.
2. I would advise you to file a petition under Protection of Women form Domestic violations Act, 2005 seeking residence, financial and prohibitory orders from the court so that she will have the first mover advantage.
3. She can also file for divorce just as her husband can file, on the ground of CRUELTY against her husband and in-laws. She can also claim maintenance from her husband for herself and her son by filing an application in the court.
4.

Very first thing make complaint in Women Cell for cruelty against her in-laws and husband. Take a copy of the same. She can file case for alimony/maintenance for herself and the child. If you want you can also file Divorce if they don't file. Immediately file first case seeking maintenance and simultaneously file complaint against them under Domestic Violence Act. Ask for her maintenance child's maintenance amount and for their residing expenses an equal status for both.
